I'm not buying into this story. I can see something like this happening if the time span were a month or so ... no way a year.

I recall things like this in the news before....I remember a man in Germany who was found mummified after years of death, also in front of his TV.  His automatic bill payments kept everything working until his bank account ran out of money.

There's also this FR story from last year that I found when I searched the site prior to posting:

Mummified Body Found Sitting In Front Of TV

I know that a story like this may be hard for many people to believe, but society has gotten to the point where you really can isolate yourself completely from other people, even when living in a big city.

Saw this story about a couple of weeks ago and thought something like this couldn't happen in the US.
