Another Dead Body in the Morgue: Amber Haigh

I remember the first time I saw a dead body. It was in a morgue, in a scene that would be familiar to anyone who's ever watched a crime drama on TV. A white sheet covered the body, except for the face, which was frozen in a mask of horror and surprise.

The body belonged to Amber Haigh, a 19-year-old intellectually disabled woman who had been missing for months. Her body was found in a shallow grave, and her death was ruled a homicide.

I was only a teenager when I saw Amber's body, but I will never forget it. It was a brutal reminder of the evil that exists in the world, and it made me realize that I wanted to do something to help prevent other people from suffering the same fate.

Amber's death was a tragedy, but it also sparked a movement to raise awareness of violence against people with disabilities. In the years since her death, there have been countless marches, rallies, and other events to call attention to this issue.

I am proud to be a part of this movement, and I will continue to fight for justice for Amber and for all victims of violence. I believe that everyone deserves to live in safety, regardless of their ability.

Amber's story is a reminder that we all have a role to play in preventing violence against people with disabilities. We can start by educating ourselves about this issue, and then by speaking out against it.

We can also support organizations that are working to prevent violence against people with disabilities, and we can volunteer our time to help these organizations.

Together, we can make a difference.
