That is what I was thinking, the “family bathroom” is not the one with the stalls. I can see how that one would be overlooked if the door was always locked.
That was my first thought too. But I wonder if he was still sitting upright. In which case, the cleaners would have bypassed the stall.
Remind me never to go to that town.
If my family broke into the bathroom every time it emitted a foul stench, I’d never get any alone time.
just wow
Happens more often than you think .... just talk to any rescue squad. Cousin of mine went this way too, but at least it was his own bathroom ......
I am surprised there were not any any closing procedures where the bathrooms were checked before the place was locked for the night ! At one time our church ran a skateboard ministry and the place was thoroughly checked before we closed for the night. This included checking the bathrooms and since it involved kids, there were two adults involved in checking.
I used to work for a MLB stadium in security. Part of our duties after the game was to go through EVERY bathroom and open the stall doors to see if someone was hiding. We then worked our way down each level until the stadium was cleared. You’d be surprised how many people we caught trying to go back up to levels we cleared.
My two baseball friends in college snuck into dodger stadium on the 25th anniversary of the stadium. They entered through the vendors gate before the public gates were open. They hid in the toilets often squatting on the seats so that people who came in could not see their feet. The game was sold out and they spent the entire game in the standing areas behind the last row on the concourse.
Another senseless death caused by motion pictures. We should ban movies houses. If even one less person does not die in a movie theatre isn’t that worth it? < / sarc>
Happened once in a murder investigation. Police "searched" a house during the investigation. They initially failed to notice the dead wife and child in a bedroom under the covers. They claimed they initially saw just a messy bed. Indeed.
I believe that was the Entwhistle case. The cops searched the house twice and failed twice to find the bodies. The subsequent delay allowed the perp to flee to Ireland.
That's what I'm thinking. Most people are going to avoid even talking to somebody sitting in one of the stalls. I can see somebody being left alone in there, and a foul smell wouldn't necessarily be suspicious. Though... you'd think after a couple of days somebody would start to catch on. Dang...
"Hey, buddy... how about a courtesy flush, huh? Did something die in there, or what...?"
when ya gotta go, ya gotta go.
You are aware that you WILL mess your pants when you die, right?
I think this guy did it right, since the mess ended up where it belonged, rather than in his drawers.
Was also a pretty good scene in Lethal Weapon I when the baddies tried to blow up Det.Murdoch on his own throne.
That’s similar to what my husband said. Someone could have been hiding in there. Everyone just leaves at the end of the night? No one gives the place a security check?
I know. I thought most places have a schedule to clean periodically during the day. A simple knock on the outside would have been good saying, “cleaning” to announce their presence. If no response after several staggered attempts, then maybe somebody with some smarts would have known something was up.
Exactly.
