seriously, 9s! This man had to be extremely isolated or something. It just doesn't make sense that you can disappear for a year and NOBODY notice.

ZombieKitten said:

lol i was gonna say that

LMAO @ this thread.

Y'all are crazy

What I'd like to know is what brand of TV he had, because one that still works after 365/24/7 is not bad!

Imago said:

he was old. nobody really keeps tabs on old people anymore.

Surely his local shop would have noticed selling less cabbage and corned beef and alerted the authorities.

I just watched the news clip of this on www.cnn.com it's a very sad story.

"You will perish before your Hitachi® does."

This story is yet another example of what (sadly) happens to people who lock themselves away from the world....no one missed this guy or noticed that he wasn't out and about....just silently went away....this dude could have held the secrets of the world in his head, but he locked himself away....

so here's a for everyone.....go out into the world and just enjoy it....don't end up mummyfied in front of the boobtube.....

I can guaruntee all of you,
when I'm no longer posting,
it'll probably be because they've finally found my carcass in front of my computer.

That's kinda mean.

This guy had no one to to miss him. I think it's sad.

This was on the local news last night. The story goes that the deceased's mail had been stopped after the carrier noticed it piling up and had just assumed he was only a summer resident. The man's son was notified and he said that his father had chosen to isolate himself from the rest of his family which is why no relatives checked on him. His house was also pretty far away from neighbors which is why no one noticed any smell.

Oh, I had assumed it was an apartment. How did they get a report of burst pipes then? ...AND what about his lawn? Surely, someone would have thought something was up if it had been growing unchecked the whole year.

a 70 year old? I suppose it's possible

It's been freezing here in New York for the last week so you could see the huge buildup of ice on the outside of his house from the burst pipe. I don't remember who got close enough to his house to see it.
