dead man on the Gardiner

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1997.03.10

I noticed that the traffic was unusually light on the Gardiner Expressway this morning. It looked like this:


I realized that there was a dead man under a tarp on the highway. Someone had walked up there and had of course been struck and killed. Anyway, I went to work. This is the second time I've seen a dead person in my two years here.

I made this crop of the image.
