Talk about denial…
:eek:
Or maybe those elderly kids were just in their dotage.
No no no, those worms crawling out of his eye sockets are normal…
Ya gotta wonder what might have given it away.
Well, this is ONE nap those darn kids won’t wake him from!
He’s not dead. He’s pinin’.
Social security scam, perhaps?
Is this common in Japan? I seem to remember a few years ago they found a guy who had been dead in an apartment for 20 years or something like that. They only found him when the building was slated for demolition. Sorry, no time for Snopes.
Did anyone else think of Jerri Blank’s dad on Strangers with Candy when they read the title?
I just Snopesed for that and didn’t find anything. There’s quite a bit on Japan and its people, though.
Yes, “Snopesed” is a word. 
I remember that article, CynicalGabe. I think we even talked about it here. In that case, the man had no family or friends, enough money in the bank to continue paying the utilities and auto-pay set up already, there was no one to notice or care that he’d gone missing at all.
These folks are acting like not feeding Dad for a decade is normal, bit different.
I’ll bet he’d really hit it off with Norman Bates’ mom.
I guess they never thought to shake Dad really hard to get him to get cleaned up and turn in for the night.
And maybe that’s just as well.
If only they had had a papal death hammer.
According to Mainichi News, the kids seem even more off than one might think, given the circumstances.
sigh If only …
Pretty much. I heard on the radio a few days back that almost the same thing was discovered in Romania or a country near it. It’s hazy but I think that case was a mom dead for a few years. If the Straterra kicks in soon I may look for a link.
Linky no work.
This makes both the Baby Jesus and Bosda cry.
What do you mean “didn’t work”? I find that comment extremely bigoted against the metabolically impaired!!
