So, apperently the smart thing to do. Is to sleep next a decaying body... cause you're to afraid to call the cops.

Woman sleeps next to the remains of her dead husband for almost a year

The woman was so devastated by her husband’s death that she couldn’t bear to report it – and slept next to his corpse for almost a year. The mummified remains of Marcel H, 79, lay undiscovered in a Brussels apartment.

It’s thought that he died of an asthma attack in November last year, but his beloved 69-year-old wife, who hasn’t been named, continued to sleep next to the grisly remains, despite the smell of decomposition. The deceased body had rotten in the bed and his internal organs had melted and liquefied.

Neighbours didn’t detect any unusual odours and the authorities in Belgium only became suspicious after the landlord claimed the couple had not paid their rent since 2012.

This liquid would have spread and the bed would have been swarming with insects as the body rotted, this would have been a real shame.

‘Even though the smell of human decay is quite specific, many people equate that smell to the smell of garbage and once the body has become rotten the smell does decrease significantly.

‘This is not the first time I have made a discovery of this kind, I've been faced with two or three other occasions where people have continued to sleep with the corpse of their partner.’

You think?

The tongue kiss tastes like chicken.

Norman Bates kept his mother for a lot longer than that.

That's some poor photography, the shots are far too blurry and the (de)composition is appaling.

However, joking aside, that's a bad story - I'd seen it elsewhere and one can only imagine the mindset of that woman. It's like something out of a horror film.

I am amazed they would get away with the photos, but the Daily Mail is trashiest of the trashy British tabloids, read by Coronation street types and lager louts.

The body is quite well preserved for a year, its still in the stage between wet and dry decomposition. Theres still plenty of skin and the body is only just starting to skeletonise, the body is at least 3 or 4 years away from Skeletonisation.

Still it would have been gross, for the first two days it would have been fine (Postmortem stage 1), but then as flies laid eggs in it and gases exploded as internal organs rotted (Wet stage 2), it would have got gross and bloated, now its in the stage (Dry Stage 3) where these items are expelled and the body becomes dry with all the insects leaving as the wet flesh is gone.

I would say the woman probably had mental health issues.

DM is definitely trashy... even compared to The Sun.

the wife must have been nuts, the neighbours as well, how could anyone ignore the stench?!!

I feel for this poor woman but I hope that's all she did...sleep.

D'u know, I don't find this disturbing at all. I find it wholly heartbreaking at the wife's complete grief & loss. Poor thing

I don't find it all that "fucked up" either. Just really sad.
