Reminds me of that headline along the lines of “Headless body found in topless bar.”
I wonder if this was a strip mine?
Was that “topless bar” playing “I ain’t got no body” on the jukebox? Just asking.
[Or, even worse that I just thought up, were they playing Whitney Houston’s great song, “I want to dance with some body”?
In southern bars, they would be playing Patsy Cline’s “I got to pieces” on the jukebox.
And the “beat goes on”!!!
Yes, sat view shows lots of coal strip mining.
Hopefully when it’s all done, they can reclaim the land nicely:

OT rant: Info. on Pyramid Park is really “chaotic” - it’s hard to even find a map online depicting which roads are open to the public (or not), which lakes (there are more than the 24 number sometimes cited) near park boundaries are or are not actually in the park, etc. Google hilariously shows “busy times” - huh? Maybe during hunting season - otherwise the almost 20k acres is almost deserted. My family spent an entire Labor Day weekend afternoon driving around the park on a REALLY nice day, a few years back: Not counting the office parking lot we saw TWO cars and one guy fishing in a boat. I’ve looped by a few times on trips from St. Louis to KY, etc., and it’s been the same story. If they are going to have a park like this... The State of IL’s promotion of the site is just incompetent times 10.
But, at least the land IS nicely reclaimed and doesn’t look like a moonscape! My Dad was quite involved in developing improved / economical methods of strip mine reclamation back in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s.
Back OT, assuming no really evil acts, I hope the deceased is RIP. Somehow it seems that “peace” may have been lacking during the latter part of his life.
