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.

    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.

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

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

    He was probably watching CNN or CBS.
