HOUSTON -- Police have charged three suspects accused of using the skull of a corpse buried in a Kingwood cemetery to make a bong.

Kevin Wade Jones, 17, Matthew Richard Gonzalez, 17, and a 16-year-old boy were all charged with one count of desecrating a corpse. The suspects are accused of digging up the skull of an 11-year-old boy buried in a cemetery for African American war veterans and using it to smoke marijuana.

Preliminary reports indicated it was a 19th-century "veterans" cemetery, he said.

Drummer boy from the Civil War, maybe?

at least it was a corpse.

Skulls usually come from corpses. I'm criticizing the headline writer, not you.

Not if he died at age 11 in 1921 ;). Perhaps his father was a veteran; a lot of military cemeteries will bury unmarried children along with spouses and the vets themselves.

Dyed black hair, pale skin and all black clothes. I can see it now...

And devil worshippers, I’m guessing. Disgusting scum!

This is why I’m going to be cremated.

No caretaker:

“it did not appear to be maintained.”

[weegee]

Watch out, or Keith Richards may try a line...

Not if he died at age 11 in 1921 ;)

LOL, you're right. I read the article but managed to miss that detail.

[Doomonyou]

I’ll probably outlive him, he looks like he’s got one foot in the grave already.

[Billthedrill]

I realize I’m admitting to a certain worldly ignorance here, but how in the world does somebody make a bong out of a skull?

You could try being liquidated!

Buried, Cremated or Melted

Also, man... that would have to leave one hell of an after taste.

[weegee]

So did William S. Burroughs and he lived to be 83.

[Doomonyou]

You could try being liquidated!

From the article: "Now a new option is generating interest — dissolving bodies in lye and flushing the brownish, syrupy residue down the drain."

Nice.

I can see it now, "So where is Grandpa buried?"

"Nowhere, they just poured him down the drain."

[GSWarrior]

They should have gone to a head shop.

Now that's funny.

[freekitty]

That is really sick.
