An ambulance attendant on each side holding him by his arms and the policeman holding his feet. His poor head was bopping all around as they headed toward the gurney. They then just heaved him onto the gurney so his head bounced and arms flew down to the sides. They took his arms and threw them up on his body. They then gave the gurney a push and they held onto it sliding on the ice on the way down the driveway and can you believe this...the ambulance guys were laughing as if it was a big joke. My daughter was afraid it would go out of control because it was going so fast and her poor neighbor would end up on the ground. They got to the ambulance...literally shoved the gurney in there and slammed the door hard. Another neighbor of my daughter's witnessed this also. She was appalled, as was my daughter. What is wrong with people? Was it because this poor man was elderly and they figured he's just an old dead man? How can they not respect this poor soul, even though he is dead. I have been so upset all day after hearing this and told my daughter that she and her neighbor have to file a report to the Police Department and the ambulance service. There is absolutely no excuse for this behavior. For all we know, that poor man's family was watching out the window as these jerks acted inappropriately with their loved one...whom they had JUST lost! Where is their compassion? They should never have carried him out of the house as they did. If the gurney didn't fit thru the door, they should have taken the stretcher board and put him on that. They should have also covered the poor soul. They should have handled him in the same manner they would have if he was alive. I didn't know this man, but I'm so upset with what happened that I have actually cried over it. I can't believe this cruel world and how heartless people can be.

Conie she should definitely report them. That is a disgrace. They are civil servants and their salary was paid by us and that newly deceased man. How horrible.
