Mummified body found infront of blaring TV.

(I wonder what channel it was on?? )

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Police called to a Long Island man's house discovered the mummified remains of the resident, dead for more than a year, sitting in front of a blaring television set.

The 70-year-old Hampton Bays, New York, resident, identified as Vincenzo Ricardo, appeared to have died of natural causes. Police said Saturday his body was discovered Thursday when they were called to the house over a burst water pipe.

"You could see his face. He still had hair on his head," Newsday quoted morgue assistant Jeff Bacchus as saying. The home's low humidity had preserved the body.

Officials could not explain why the electricity had not been turned off, considering Ricardo had not been heard from since December 2005.

Neighbors said when they had not seen Ricardo, who was diabetic and had been blind for years, they assumed he was in the hospital or a long-term care facility.

I say foul play!

Why would he be IN FRONT of the TV if he was blind?
He could have just as easily been facing the wall and not known the difference!:ph34r:

AND..what fucking power or cable company goes a year without payment???
(I ask cause I wanna move anyway!)

That's just sad. :( It reminds me of the thread someone posted about how long would it take before someone noticed you were missing.

I used to visit shut ins for my Legion of Mary volunteer work and sometimes we were the ONLY people to visit them ever. I think maybe I'll start volunteering again.

That's a helluva safe neighborhood, ain't it? A nice one where people mind their own business.
