Man Lives With Dead Body For Days
KAKE News, Wichita, KS ^ | May 12, 2011 | KAKE News

A Wichita man lived with his deceased loved one for days, hoping for a higher power to bring the woman back to life, police said.

Officers were called to a welfare check in the 1000 block of S. St. Clair Wednesday evening. Investigators said neighbors called police, concerned they had not seen the woman recently.

Police said a 54-year-old man answered the door, but did not want officers to enter the home. Authorities detained the man after a smelling a strong odor in the living room.

Officers searched the home and found a 57-year-old woman in the bedroom, deceased. Officials believe the woman died about a week ago.

Investigators said the man told officers he was praying for divine intervention to bring his fiancee back to life.

The man was taken to a local hospital for a mental evaluation, authorities said.

Investigators do not suspect foul play in the woman's death. An autopsy is underway.

Losing a loved one is like losing a part of your self.

Red,
The Bible does say that there’ll be neither marriage nor giving in marriage in the Heaven. - I somehow imagine, though, they’ll make an exception for you (as a part of that reward thing). :o)

Grief can manifest itself in many ways. I hope that he finds someone who can help him cope with his loss.

This reminds me of a King of the Hill episode where the son Bobby is hanging around an older dungeons & dragons type of guy.

"Bobby, you don't need a crystal ball to see Ward's future. He's going to live with his mother until she dies, and maybe for a few weeks after." - Hank Hill

More complete dialog.....

HANK: This is a carburetor. Take it apart. Put it back together. Repeat until you're normal.

BOBBY: But Dad, the dark arts are nothing to be afraid of.

HANK: I'm not afraid of that garbage. I'm afraid of you getting your ass kicked every day for the rest of your life because you found a new way to act like a nerd.

BOBBY: Ward said you wouldn't understand.

HANK: Bobby, you don't need a crystal ball to see Ward's future. He's going to live with his mother until she dies, and maybe for a few weeks after.

She wasn’t any less responsive in bed than normal. The man didn’t suspect anything was wrong.

“Losing a loved one is ‘like’ losing a part of your self”....

That’s because they were part of yourself.
“And the two shall become one”.

None other rips the heart and mind as this form of lose....

My daughter observed: “Usually it’s the man that has the heart attack and dies, not the woman.
