Mummified man found in front of TV, still on

As I read the Los Angeles Times online edition this morning, I could not resist sharing this strange article with you.

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. — Southampton police responding to burst water pipes in a Hampton Bays home found the mummified body of the owner — dead for more than a year — sitting in a chair in front of a television.
The television was still on.
Full story can be read here.

The TV was still on? Who paid the electric bill for the 1 year?

Those were my thoughts, Mr. Oc!

I see there are occasions where we do think alike. But perhaps, he had automatic bill-pay.

Positively macabre!
Poor guy. No one to check on him all that time. Makes you wonder.

I have to ask:
What CHANNEL did the poor guy die watching?

He was probably watching CNN or CBS.
