There was that one where that Immortal's girlfriend <who didn't know he was immortal and
though DM killed him> came around. The guy came back and DM spanked him silly <that means he
took his Quickening>. The girl came out and said "Where is he?". And DM pointed behind him and
said "Back there." <or something like that> So I guess the bodies either get buried or

are all taken care of by a subdivision of the Watchers called the Immortal
Valet Service. Not to mention the stealing of the dead immortal's wallet
and bank accounts (well, how did *you* think the Watchers got funding?)

In the mess after a Quickening, a bodiless head or a headless body...who's
to notice? I think the Immortals have a secret pocket in their
clothes...one like the one they carry their swords in...and just stuff the
corpse in there until a convenient burial spot offers itself.

I'd have to agree with the buried/well-disposed of idea
better, only considering that the coppers found Fasil's body in the
original film and were able to track Connor down for it. While I've
never seen Duncan come up under suspicion of murder, he's always
seemed to have lingering time enough to hide all the Immortals he
leaves behind. If you remember, Connor just jetted away from the Fasil
fight. But I guess its one of those things that'll never really get
resolved until TPTB give us some clear signs, and how long has it been
since that's happened?

Duncan has a wood chipper out at the cabin that comes in handy for this.
(Anybody seen the ending of Fargo?)
The 65-66 T-Bird was a good choice for an immortal. -Lots of trunk space
for decapitated bodies, shovels, etc. A sixties vintage Caddie would do
well also. It was the hitman's car of choice in all the movies.
Perhaps a '63 Caddie convertible would be a good choice for Richie - with
a motorcycle trailer, of course. At second thought, a 4X4 with a tarp is
probably more Richie's style.

I hope everyone doesn't think I'm totally sick, but I came up with an idea
for an ep. that would show this in a humorous way. Please consider that
I've been working overnights so am suffering from sleep deprivation and
come from a family where my father and his brother "hung" their little
brother from a tree to scare their mom.
It involves Mac and Methos trying to get rid of a decapitated body, but
they keep getting interrupted so they have to drag him around town with
them. Like to Joe's. For some reason I keep getting a mental image of
Methos, in the back seat of Mac's T-Bird, trying to duct tape the guys
head back on before the cops get to the car. They've been pulled over for
a broken tail-light caused by the quickening.
Ok-Now you know way too much about me. Like why all my friend think I'm
spooky.

Anything but 'Two Bottles of Relish'!
Another good choice: claim to be starting a pet cemetery, and buy a crematory
furnace designed for animals. It was done on the spur of the moment in an old
Evelyn Waugh novel, and on purpose in other whodunnits since. Also 'The
Hidden' with David Bowie.
The whole process of hiding unwanted corpses is also handled in detail in some
RPG systems. I remember playing one with vampires (not Masquerade, before
that) which referred to the process of corpse disposal as 'brushing and
flossing'.

Perhaps they simply disappear after a while. Immies are magical creatures, sustained
ONLY by the Quickening. When their Quickening is taken there is nothing left to keep
their bodies in existance, and their bodies vanish after a few hours.

That would be very tidy. Can you convince my garbage (and the dust
bunnies under the couch) to do the same thing?

southpaw kimmie fell off the roof. I'd have to assume that his body stayed
around at least long enough to be evidence in a murder investigation.
I do, however, think that eventually the bodies disappear or *something*.
What with all the immies dropping like flies every week, DMs private
graveyard is probably getting pretty full.

Except that in Manhunt, Carl's opponent falls off the building much to
the disgust and dismay of onlookers. Presumably the corpse wound up
somewhere official and didn't just disintegrate in front of the
coroner (hmmm, what would a coroner find), causing even more
questions. Now, I haven't actually watched more that the first 5
minutes of the ep yet, so if Duncan or someone breaks in and sneaks
off with the body, then all bets are off.

Maybe they just rot quickly? After perhaps 30 minutes or so,
they're completely decayed? Just a theory.

It seems to me that in a quickening there is a lot of electrical current
released. Since molecular/atomic bonding is electrical in nature (sharing
or giving up electrons etc.). Then perhaps a quickening is just the
release of this electrical charge. Plus our memories are stored as
electrical charge in our synapsis. If all of this energy were released in
a quickening then an immortal would "quickly" drop into a heap of dust
(kind of like being cremated).

I am starting to suspect that effective and discrete disposal of bodies is
just one of those skills that immortals pick up over the centuries... like
using a sword, picking a lock (ever notice that Duncan's apartment seems
like a bus station for immortals both good and bad?)

In the episode where Darius was killed, (The Hunters), when Fitzcairn and
MacLeod are having a drink on the barge, Fitz tells Mac how some of his
immortal friends have disappeared and asks him outright "what happened to
the bodies?". Obviously, he expected there to be bodies to be found. In
the same episode, Mac says of Darius, as he and Fitz put the church back
together, "no one must know and we'll bury him once we've found who did
this", (or words to that effect).
Later, in "Pharoah's Daughter", when Nefertiri kills the evil watcher, Mac
is seen telling her, "I've got rid of the body". Okay, that's a mortal,
but it gives you an insight into the fact that he's got a method of
disposing of bodies without too much effort. Then, there's the fuss Amanda
and Rebecca's lover made about her grave and, (almost up to date), the fact
that the police were hunting Warren Cochrane in "Through A Glass, Darkly"
for killing his immie pupil in the auberge.
Conclusions? MacLeod's getting better at getting rid of the bodies or the
police have just given up on catching the mad beheader!

There was also The End of Innocence (right episode?) when Richie killed
Haresh Clay's friend. The final confrontation took place right after the
funeral, and the new burial site was very obvious.
