How insensitive some folks are, he might have been homeless but that does not make his life any less valuable he was a human being like anyone else. Hopefully he has some family somewhere and they are able to provide a final resting place for him.

@ Jigaboo. Your callousness is pathetic. You must have not have had enough love growing up. I know a lot of homeless people who have hearts of gold and I myself am not homeless and in fact I'm successful. I do not judge based on social class like you. Most hard working, good people and families are one step away from being homeless themselves. Should we socially cleanse our streets of these sub humans Mr. Superior? What makes you more important? Oh, that's right it's your complex (Superiority complex is a psychological
defense mechanism in which a person's
feelings of superiority counter or conceal
his or her feelings of inferiority. ) Your generaliza betrays you because as in doing so you prove yourself to be a narrow minded yuppy You say "without a doubt they were transients", well I say without a doubt you are a very ignorant individual being that you are certain of something you have no clue about besides what you read on here. I also conclude that you are anti American being that you are against what America stands for. Here's a lil quote from this thing you may have heard of called the Statue of Liberty. " Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breath
free.
The wretched refuse of your teeming
shore.
Send these, THE HOMELESS, tempest-tost to
me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door! RIP TO THIS INDIVIDUAL. He was a human being and created just as equal as every one else regardless of social class.
