Creepy story


Just watching the new york news and

there was an elderly man in the city and the neighbors throught he was in a retirment home. He wasnt.

They found him today in his home, and has been determined that he died last year, (of natural causes) and has been sitting in a chair with the tv on for the past year, dead..
They found the body in a chair with the tv on from last year.

Sad, that so many people are not missed in life, If it's true, which I'm sure it more then likely is very sad

They may have been on SS or a pension and had direct deposit and bill pay set up. Think about it, how many of us do that

He lived in a summer home area so it wasnt uncommon for mail to build up in the winter according to the mailman.

The sad part is it happens more then you think. I have a ton of real stories of incidences just like that, but this is a family site....and I can't get into details.
