How do people not notice this stuff?

Don't ever fall asleep in a snowbank, my friend.

 

Quite Frankly, Cold Pizza can kill people.

 

Must have been watching Janice Dickinson Modeling agency.

 

Somebody will inherit a big TiVo backlog. And he was blind!

 

What's frightening is that you do and continue to.

 

There was a story here this past week of a guy who was dead in his house TWO years when they found him.
He was a 79-year-old retiree, estranged from his family, didn't really speak to the neighbours. He would go to the supermarket as winter set in and load up with stuff so he wouldn't have to go outside.

The one who figured it out was a woman from the equivalent of the tax assessors' office. He had been friendly with her. But he had stopped coming in, hadn't paid his taxes the previous year and she finally called the cops. Otherwise, they wouldn't have found him until another year went by, and his house was seized and sold for unpaid property taxes.

Yeesh. Be nice to everyone, because dying THAT alone would absolutely suck.

 

His neighbors *thought* his family had put him in a facility???

Wouldn't there have been activity they would have seen if he were being moved? Wouldn't someone had seen movement??

That is sad. Just sad.

 

This is sad, but I can think this would happen more often if there is no build up of mail or anything to make the people think something was wrong.

 

They said there was no build-up of mail in the article. I think it's sad, but without some sign that something happened, why would anyone think anything was wrong?
