Living with a dead body (for real)

[Philly_SWAT]

Less than 10 minutes away from where I live, a man was discovered to have his dead mother lying in a bed under a sheet. One report said there wasnt much left but bones. Imagine the smell for all that time. He was said to be cashing her Social Securuty checks.

Ick!

That is just plain old nasty

the sad part is the law will probably
make more of an issue over the stolen SSI money then
the dead body...

Heard a similar story in which a guy did the same thing with 2 or 3 relatives. They died of natural causes, but he continued to receive checks. He did this for many years, until he died. Then the policed discovered his corpse along with the others. And pretty much put two and two together.

His last names didn't happen to be "Bates" did it?
