Many of us like watching races in the company of other NASCAR fans, but Linda Chase of Jackson, Mich., might have taken that just a bit too far.

For the past 10 years, she lived together with Charles Zigler. And when Zigler passed away, they continued to live and watch NASCAR together for approximately 18 months until authorities found Zigler's body on Friday.

Blackstone is in the heart of the hood. Not quite Detroit but Detroit 30 years ago.

Crazy that Jackson is one of the reported birthplaces of the republican party. I’ve lived in Jackson county for my whole life but always huddled in rural corners of the county.

""Kind of a sad story, the woman just couldn’t let go."

From the article, it would appear she couldn't let go of the stiff's social security cheques. We had a murder committed here at the local welfare dive motel. Body was stuffed into the bed's frame box beneath the mattress. For over four months, a succession of local gentry slept, ate, fornicated, freebased, and shot heroin atop a rotting corpse, in a room swarming with flies and maggots. Like the lady in this story, they also claimed "he didn't stink or nuttin'."

The only reason they continued to watch NASCAR was because she couldn’t pry the remote from his dead cold hand.

Ol’ Charlie was a big Danica Patrick fan and swore that he’d never miss a race until she showed up in victory lane.

Correction: Woman watched NASCAR for over a year. Corpse was in the room, too. She was able to tend to his banking needs for him, and cash his checks.

Creepy at best. Reminds me of ‘Weekend At Bernie’s”.

You just knew this had to be a Social Security scam. Course that’s buried in the middle of the article so the writer could take a gratuitous swipe at our redneck sport.

The woman had to have no sense of smell. I had an opossum get into my garage and die. The stench was overpowering to the point of being eye-watering and getting into the house until I could move stuff to find the thing trapped behind the beer ‘fridge.

My uncle continued to watch golf with his wife for about five years after her death. Of course, my aunt had been cremated, but my uncle kept her ashes right next to his favorite chair so he could talk to her while he watched the golf tournaments on tv.

He had asked his daughter to spread her ashes along with his, from an airplane, after he died.

Maybe we need a new category: crazy NASCAR corpse ladies?

-——, known as Charlie, died naturally, Linda Chase said. “He just fell asleep.” She kept him in his chair after he died, keeping him dressed and cleaned. His body did not stink, she said. She would talk to him and watch NASCAR races on television with him.-——

I find it hard to believe the corpse didn’t stink.....unless the humidity was like zero.... And he mummified over time....

I wonder if she changed his clothes....?
