11 Deaths That Could’ve Been Avoided With Common Sense

3. Playing Homeless For Column Inches

A Newcastle journalist, deciding he was going to get a real inside scoop on the state of homelessness in the area, took to the streets with no food or money, dressed as a bag man. Lee, 26, stated “I will sleep rough, scrounge for my food, interact with as many homeless people as possible, and immerse myself in that lifestyle as deeply as I can.” These are the last words the general public heard from this journalist. Lee, after only three days of living the street life, was found frozen to death in a boarded up hostel. Now given that there are an estimated 2300 homeless people out and about on those streets each night, imagine how many corpses must be found throughout the Winter. Granted, this was a previously pampered journalist who hadn’t had a chance to acclimatize, but still. Take a lesson from Lee: it’s not nice being homeless. It’s dangerous, and evidently deadly. There’s a reason why there are homeless shelters.
