TOKYO - Police on Tuesday questioned three siblings after it was discovered they had been living with the decomposed corpse of their father for nearly a decade, an official said.
Police found the body of Kyujiro Kanaoka lying on a futon bed at the family's home in Itami city in Hyogo prefecture in western Japan, said a prefectural police spokesman, who declined to be identified.
Kanaoka's three elderly children, all in their 70s or older, told police they thought their father was still alive but that one of them recently had consulted a relative about the possibility that he might be dead, the spokesman said.

You would think when the parent's nose fell in the miso soup they would have become a little suspicious.
You just can't make this stuff up.
What was their first clue?
Decade at Bernies?
Hey, Dad hasn't moved, said anything, used the bathroom, or eaten since 1994. He's also lost a ton of weight, and looks alot like pile of yellowed Lincoln Logs, you think he might be?.....nah!
Sounds like the siblings are brain-dead.
Maybe Papa San used to be a ninja, and they just figured he was so stealth when moving about the house that the only time they could see him was when father slept.
He's pinin' for the fjords.
NORMAN!!!!!
Yes, Mother.
Musta used a lot of deodorant in the house to take out the smell.
Maybe they watched the movie The Grudge too many times.
After the third year the stench was all played out. :-)
That would depend on who your "father" is.
Was he nailed to the futon?
"Sis. . . "
"Yes, brother?"
"Do you think Dad's looking a little under the weather recently?"
"Well, now that you mention it. . . ."
Guess the kids didn't need any money----hey Dad?
