You certain that’s not a grave?

Must be where he was found.

I guess the sun and weather shrunk him down, huh?

The scale of either the cross or the fella is totally wrong.

We are talking about this person, who was dear to whomever put up the memorial. In a way, we are remembering him, although most likely none of us has ever met him. I'd say this little memorial is serving its purpose.

Turns out he wasn't beat up and murdered. Apparently he had a serious drink problem. His "friends" took him up there when he was really drunk and left him. He was only dressed in a shirt and he died of hypothermia. They got charged and found guilty of manslaughter.

Yeah, that was super irresponsible of them.

There's a bit more to it. They were friends. But one had accused him of a sexual assault and there had apparently been threats to kill made. Still, not a nice thing to do to him.
