Mummified body found with TV on

Hampton Bays, N.Y.

The partially mummified body of a man dead for more than a year has been found in a chair in front of his television, which was still on, authorities said.

Vincenzo Ricardo, 70, apparently died of natural causes, said Dr. Stuart Dawson, Suffolk County's deputy chief medical examiner.

Police found Ricardo's body last week when they investigated a report of burst pipes.

The home's dry air had preserved his features, morgue assistant Jeff Bacchus said.

Ricardo's wife died years ago, and he lived alone, Dawson said.

Neighbors said they had thought Ricardo was in a hospital or nursing home.

The first thing that came to my mind was 'who is paying his electricity?' Does that make me a bad person?

That's nothing.  In Japan they just found the remains of a family (four people) in their house after neighbors started reporting their absence...they'd been dead TEN YEARS.

Found the article.  It was actually five people, not four!  They've updated it since last time, it looks like their oldest son actually put their bodies there and left them there TWENTY years ago.  :lol

FUKUOKA — The five skeletal bodies found in a house in Omuta, Fukuoka Prefecture, on Tuesday are believed to be those of a family who had lived there and were apparently kept there for years in hopes of resurrection, investigative sources said Wednesday.

The bodies are believed to be those of Shigeo Nagae, who was born in 1908, his wife Fumiko, born in 1915, and their two daughters and a son with whom local authorities have not been able to reach, according to the police.

"My parents used to say, 'People will revive without fail even if they die.' In keeping with their wishes, I have laid the bodies in the rooms to sleep," Nagae's eldest son, 69, was quoted by one of the sources as telling investigators.

Police are expected to perform an autopsy on the bodies to identify the dead and estimate the time of their deaths.

Police are also questioning Nagae's eldest son and two daughters for more clues about the case. According to what they have told the police so far, between four and 20 years has apparently passed since the people died, according to the sources.

An Omuta city official told reporters, meanwhile, that the case first came to the city's notice last month, when a welfare counselor alerted the city that Nagae and his wife could not be reached for a long time.

One of Nagae's daughters replied to a city official's subsequent telephone inquiry on March 20, saying she and her other family members were taking care of them.

When the official queried her again on Monday, it sounded as if she did not want the official to see her parents, prompting the official to report the matter to the police, according to the city.

Police officers found five decomposed bodies laid out in several rooms in Nagae's house on Tuesday evening.

better go watching tv than something painful.

Plus going like this gets a news story out of it! What better way to die than to die with press attention?

who was paying the electric bill?  I guess he got his SS check deposited or retirement or something direct deposited and then they automatically took the bill out of the account.  I guess.
