Have You Ever Kissed A Drowning Victim?

If you've done CPR, you just might have.
CPR dummies are learning aids used due to the impracticality of blowing air into other peoples mouths (ahh the stories I could tell...) A little known fact is that the mold of the face is based upon the face of a young woman who once was alive.

One account of the history of the young woman is that her countenance was casted by a mold maker in Germany. An Italian modeller has claimed that the young woman could not have been more than 16 due to the apparent tightness of her skin.

If one was to err on the side of fancy and tell the most-romanticized story of origin...

It is said that a young woman in the late 1880s in France tragically took her own life and drowned herself in the River Siene.
The pathologist in the morgue was so taken by her beauty that he had a cast made of her face...

... or so the story goes...
I wonder what L'Inconnue de la Seine (as she came to be known) would think of her part in saving the lives of so many others for generations to come...?
