From: Eva Category: Life Date: 02 April 2008 Time: 07:23 PM Review: I was lying in bed thinking about what I'd just written and another image from today presented itself, from here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7326226.stm "She had taken cocaine and sleeping tablets at the time, and hot water burns covered 60% of her body. [..] Burns over Miss Collins' body and face, including her tongue, were consistent with being immersed in very hot water" It's the burnt tongue that makes the 60% burns real. All we get in the news is descriptions of young women's bodies. If not murdered then even death by misadventure warrants a sensational story that has us imagining a naked red body with a burnt tongue. Or a head on a beach found by children. Is this death now?
