[edit] Dubious Statement
"At these temperatures the body is completely frozen and decomposition is totally halted"
Anyone have any suggestions for sources and/or suggestions to clean this up, besides USDA's guidelines for storage of frozen meat in regards to a body's "shelf life" at these low temperatures? Obviously decomposition is never really totally halted, the body would have to be kept at absolute zero to even come close, even then there will still be slow degradation due to desiccation etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.223.194.151 (talk) 15:32, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- Have now changed the statement to mention some decay, but the whole passage needs proper references.--Felix folio secundus 11:51, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

"morg (American English)" Morg does not occur in American English. The word is morgue. Dave Andrew 00:36, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Rose(mary's) Cottage is in fairly common usage. I also know of the mourtary been referred to as Ward 13 because most hospitals don't have a Ward 13 for superstitous reasons...perhaps this could be included too? Iconoclast322 20:55, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] {{WPMED}}
It may be worth adding this banner to the talkpage with its own rightful classification.

wat does a morgue mean —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.25.70.82 (talk) 17:08, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
A place in which bodies are kept. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.92.77.133 (talk) 04:12, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Morgue and a Mortuary/Funeral Home are not the same thing, are they?
Consider that if you got killed in a car accident, the EMT's would take you to a morgue, not directly to a funeral home. The morgue is where they keep you until your family, etc, decides what to do with you. The snare (talk) 19:27, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
