Re: Bill Door first comment. You said people don't get tortured in there now... who knows what went on back when the room was constructed. Stories of abuse and torture might never have surfaced because a) it wasn't considered torture or abuse back then more the a form of treatment and b) many of the patients in that room were disabled and may have been unable to verbalise their concerns, or not have been believed by anyone back then because they had a mental disability. Back then people did not have the understanding or compassion that todays society has for people who suffer from mental disabilitiies.

Plain coffins with muslin lining and straw stuffing for padding are still made by the Trappist monks in Indiana. Both my parents chose this style.

I think it's better off that Motts left it there. The picture has been taken and spread to touch all of your hearts, if the puppy toy was removed no one else would ever find it and be touched by it as well. A lot of people died in the hospital, it'd be like taking something from a gravesite.
Plus, I'm curious if Motts found this in the children's ward. Lots of people give stuffed animals to patients (especially women) because that's sort of become what you do for someone... stuffed toys and flowers.
