Death mask

Was talking to a friend today. He had visited his aunt, and she was asking him to help clean out the basement. There he found a death mask. What?

My mind went immediately to Hannibal Lecter, and whether his aunt was a black widow. Turned out that she had a plaster head, moulded from her (2nd) husbands head.

None of us could work out the reason she had it made in the first place, but now it is crushed into little pieces.

But really, how weird is that? And did my friend have anything to do with it? Haha, just joking. Seen too many episodes of CSI.

But the head was there. Really, who wants a replica of a dead person?
