I can't believe this happened...make sure you keep at least 1 friend to check up on you.  :buggedout:

That's pretty crazy. If one of my neighbors suddenly seemed to vanish from the face of the planet, I'd probably check up on them, though.

What I'd like to know is, wasn't there some kind of stink? When my dad was a detective he would have to go to these houses where the people hadn't been seen for a while or there was a strange stink coming from the house. He could smell the bodies once he pulled up the drive-way. Opening the door was another story. And who paid the electric bill?

And now, everyone's mind can race...imagining what the last show this poor man saw was.

The news reports haven't mentioned what channel it was left on, have they?

A whole screenplay could be written around this thought experiment.  Imagine network suits climbing over their own bloody carcasses like arachnids on Planet P, trying to promote their program as the ultimate "MUST SEE" pre-afterlife countdown program.

Hmmm...maybe a reality program with Rich Hall.

What if he was at his own wake and nobody showed up?  :buggedout:

He could have had some kind of electronic fund transfer bill paying, as long as he had money in the account the bills would get paid. Older man with no one to check up on him- no job or possibly retired - social security, pension, disability, and/or retirement check gets direct deposited. After he dies, no groceries or outside expenses since he's mummifying in frotn of the boob tube, only so many utilities being used since nothing gets adjusted, little if any water.

Yea, I read this story a couple days ago. Amazing !

Was going to post about that and Britneys head shaving, but haven't had a chance to get on the forum this weekend.  :smile:

The old man who died alone and unnoticed is quite sad, I can see how it could happen to just about any of us.
The little girl with the shaved head has some major mental problems and is in need of professional help.
