The mummified body of Sylvester the gunslinger is in remarkable condition with every minor detail preserved. The same, however, can’t be said for his origins.

I saw him in the museum in Seattle. It was extremely unsettling but powerful. I could stare into the eyes of a man that lived way before me. He had a childhood, he grew up, he laughed, cried, lived. This is someone who had an entire life long ago in a country that would be unrecognizable to me today. And I’m now standing face to face with that man. I felt kind of gross, almost like I was invading his privacy. But I also felt reverence for him.

For those who are curious, Sylvester was so well preserved because he was injected with an arsenic based fluid by an embalmer immediately following his death. Arsenic was used to stop the decomposition by killing bacteria and insects that invaded the body. This caused his body to dry out and subsequently, be mummified.

When I die, I'd much rather my corpse be on display so I can give at least something to this world, showing history and answering possible questions people have. I'm absolutely not worried whatsoever where my body goes, because that's our temporary home, our home will be wherever we end up when we die, "respect" has lost it's meaning in our culture, and now has over 1000 ways of interpreting it. You'd be showing respect to a corpse if it had something to offer, showing it's true potential, even in death. Who cares if it makes publicity/income, you should honor the corpse for giving you that blessing, and preserve as long as you can.

It's not wrong or immoral. I wish I could put this in nicer words but you were raised so sheltered from the world I don't think you have an idea of what death is. People die, everyone dies, it's just human fucking anatomy. It shouldn't be illegal or wrong because it's interesting and useful. People see cool mummy preserved well, shop makes money. It's not exploitation or a horrible thing. It's just some random guy who might have been a gunslinger in the "Wild West" who died.

I worked at YOCS back in the late 1980s. During the move to pier 54 in April 1988 the top of Sylvester's case came off and for a time, the whole shop stunk of a Limburger cheese type of smell.. I have no idea how those guys were not choking..

+ DcodeReload Egyptian mummies are thousands of years old and usually important hysterical figures like pharaohs and displayed in museums this guy died relatively recently 100 to 200 years ago as a victim of a crime this is like digging your grandfather and putting him on display.

Stanley Potter also, many museums have strict codes on displaying the body with respect and in context as far as historians know of, and are often better cared for than would have been in where they were found. but it is a controversial and interesting debate 😊

My dad was thin when he was young. My dad died of pancreas cancer at about 62 years old. I always visualized my dad as big and strong 💪 brawn. Cancer ate my dad alive. When my dad died he was skinny, that's when I seen his nose was alkaline. Like the picture you showed on thumbnail. That's how my dad looked when he died on his birthday April 29.
