The Day the Music Died

Maybe I am cliche for writing about this, but I found it noteworthy. I mean, aside from the Giant upset...no pun intended. I kind of hope nobody but me reads this, it's a little embarrassing. Anyway, I guess on this day in 1959, the infamous plane crash, referenced in Don McLean's "American Pie" as the day the music died, took place. I came across the Coroner's report for Buddy Holly. It is written in a gruesome amount of detail . Then they proceeded to take $11.65 from the poor dead man's wallet for the report. Does this not seem wrong at all? A little creepy and demeaning?
