Dear Mummy and Dead.
Crushed under Junk...!
They will find me Reading FREEREPUBLIC.
After being dead more than a year, Chuck was not even a Chunk.
“As our society becomes more fragmented, and we have more people (especially the elderly) living alone, this will become more common.”
Nah. People who live alone communicate by phone, email, direct interface etc. My family is all spread out, but I talk to them more now than when we all lived in the same town.
I expect in another generation, AI robots will allow people to live in their own homes rather than a nursing home.
Steve Wilson used this terrible lonely death as subject for his album - "Hand. Cannot. Erase."
I know someone who had a hoarding parent. Her children did call her and would visit but it was very unpleasant in the house as she had animals also. Finally they talked her into letting them build another house for her behind one of the children’s houses, fixing up the original house enough to sell, and moving her. She was upset at the loss of so many of her things that had to go in the dumpster. Part of her problem was depression after a divorce in her late 40’s. She still has hoarding tendencies but is happier now.

Anxiety can contribute to it, too. “Don’t you dare throw out that stuff, I might need it, it has value, don’t let it go.”
Well they could have done a no-knock raid on his house. Whats the worse that could have happen they would end up shooting him?
sounds like a Leo Rosten special..
The guy cut himself from the whole world. Wouldn’t let his own kids in. Made it physically impossible to enter. I blame him, not anyone else.
Why did it take so long? Simple, it’s because he wouldn’t open the door when they knocked!
That never stopped some police. Knock on door I mean. If they wanted in bad enough they would just knock the door down..

Yes, and they could claim he made a sudden move that they took for reaching for a gun. They shot him in self-defense,
This has just become my Plan!
When I Check Out... No-One Knows!
(Sure they will shut off my Electricity, Water, Gas and Cable)
But then when they Fine me for Not Mowing my Lawn! (EPIC)
I Hope my remains Really Stink!
I’m from Texas! So (Fill in the Blank, rhymes with Chuck combined with the last vowel)
Decades ago when I lived in south Florida, a guy committed suicide by drug overdose sitting in a lawn chair in his back yard.
Several people saw him in the back yard, but all at different times, and just briefly.
A couple days went by and we had a typical thunder storm.
Someone saw him still sitting in the chair under a torrential rain, and finally called the Police.
True.
That was strange. This women did fit all the stereo types of a introverted hermit.
Yes it was. It is creepy enough for the medical/police staff to find a skeleton in repose on a couch. But a TV on, still, after three years and her skeletal head facing it.
All of my bills are. In fact, in my will I list every bill I'm paying, every income source and their respective contact numbers and every online account and password.
When my dad died my sister was beside herself trying to keep up with sending out checks to all the bills that were constantly coming in........
How does it go? Oh yea, “When seconds count, police are there in 383 days”.
