Photographs of murder scenes and car wrecks grace the walls. A dead, stuffed dog. Such are the items on display at the The Museum of Death in San Diego, Calif. “I’m about to lose my dinner,” said one visitor, who insisted she was dragged into the exhibit by a friend. “There’s a reason that the general public does not see this stuff in the paper.” The dead dog is “the most profound piece we have,” says Cathee Shultz, who owns the museum with her husband, J.D. Healy. “People get so upset about a dead dog.” Then there’s the stained T-shirt worn by a man who was executed in the electric chair. “This is how we try to educate people,” Healy said. “We educate through shock.” (AP) ...Funny: that’s just what the executioner said about the condemned prisoner.
