The first and last a British soldiers to die in World War I, Privates John Parr and George Ellison, are both buried in St. Symphorien military cemetery in Belgium, and face each other only yards apart. Dead but still deadly! Chef Peng Fan died when he was bitten by the severed head of a snake he was cooking at a restaurant in Guangdong, China. Honeymooning in Nainital, India, Sumit and Shivani Rathore were surprised to find a leopard had snuck into their hotel room while they were sleeping!

That’s the problem with poisonous snakes. The bite reflex takes hours to subside after death. That chef should have already known that if he was already familiar with that dish that he was preparing.

I wonder if the two bodies face each other, or if only the memorials do? Some memorials have the names of the deceased written on the “front”, some on the “back.” I was told that traditionally, bodies are buried face up with the feet to the east.
