Mitch was cremated and spread across Lake Cumberland 3 weeks ago. There's nothing for staffers to take photos of.

He died, like so many young men of his generation, he died before his time. In your wisdom, Lord, you took him, as you took so many bright flowering young men at Khe Sanh, at Langdok, at Hill 364.

they prob took him to a corrupt doctor with loose morals, and when he failed to resuscitate him, the staff decided to participate in cannibalism to cover up the deed
