    Alabama Officer Tickets Parked Car as Woman Lies Dead Inside

    Tuesday, April 07, 2009



    BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — A parking enforcement officer issued a ticket for a pickup truck outside an Alabama emergency room while a woman lay dead inside the vehicle, authorities said.
    Rebecca Kate Haley, 25, had been dead for at least seven hours when an illegal parking ticket was put on the windshield, authorities said.
    Police spokesman Sgt. Johnny Williams Jr. said the officer didn't see Haley because she was slumped over in the truck's cab. Drug paraphernalia was found in the truck.
    Williams said Tuesday that Haley's cause of death had not been determined.
    About an hour after the ticket was issued at 10:15 a.m. Monday outside the UAB hospital, a passer-by spotted Haley.
    Police did not suspect foul play, but were investigating whether someone else was in the truck before Haley died

    Drug paraphernalia was found in the truck.
    Immediately exonerates the LEO.

    Well sure...but how horrible would you feel if you knew that you just ticketed a vehicle with a dead 25y/o in it without noticing?
    Talk about the ultimate D'oh!

    The LEO didn't see her standing right next to the vehicle, but a passer-by is the one who spotted the dead girl? Fuckin Alabama!

    Not entirely promotion-worthy if she'd been dead for 7+ hours tho! lol
    Always a punch to the gut for the ER staff to hear that someone died in their lot tho.... and I'm proud to say that's not from personal experience...albeit close! lol
