Life after death, I suppose.
She didn’t receive mail? The postman never thought it odd that mail hadn’t been pickup up in years?
What a city...

If the reporter was really an enterprising sort - I know that is an absurd thought - they would check to see if she voted over the last six years.
Did the car still have gas in it? Do you supposed that she committed suicide?
I don’t suppose a postal worker or neighbor would have noticed mail piling up in the box, or the electricity being completely shut off, no shoveled driveway or walk, no footprints in the snow for an entire winter.
I realize there was rational behind nobody interfering. But did not one single neighbor have a cell phone number for her or a friend of hers?
This is sad.
Friends? Relatives? Co-workers?
I remember a similar story from Germany. Guy had been dead in his armchair for three years, with the television rolling on and on in front of his corpse.
Empty cultures.
I don’t know what her mortgage or car payment were per month or how long the foreclosure proceedings took or whether or not anyone tried to reposes the automobile when payments stopped. But assuming she had enough money in her account with automatic withdrawals to cover 5 years, she must have been a fairly wealthy woman.

And no, its not Detroit. Its middle to upper middle class suburban northeast of Pontiac.
Is it unusual for a house to go 6 years without being burglarized in Pontiac, Michigan? And furthermore, how do they know the place wasn't broken in to. It's not like the owner was going to report being robbed. And if a burglar found her body what's he going to do? Report it to the police?
2007 Jeep Liberty Sport; Low Miles; Garaged; Driven by a little, old lady. $14,590 obo
She was found on the back seat of her car in the garage. The key was half way in the ignition.
That is a little bit weird, if not downright suspicious.
was anyone receiving and cashing any checks that might have come for her? Income tax refunds? Social Security?
any MANUAL withdrawals of her funds?
That would explain no one reporting her dead... and would not surprise me one single bit
Remember the lady in east Dallas who was found after being dead for a year in Feb 2006? She lived across the street from the house I grew up in. A cafeteria worker finally convinced police to check on her.
suicide
A bank account on “auto-payment”? Isn’t that kind of dangerous?
Our next door neighbor is single, in her 50s, and has MS. I take turns with the people who live on the other side of her and across the street cutting her grass and shoveling snow from the driveway. And while we talk when she’s outside, during the Polar Votex, or when the heat index is 105 in July, we don’t see much of her. You don’t see much of anyone in the neighborhood then. I’m not concerned since she has family that stops by often. But I’ve never been in her house, and as she ages and the MS progresses, we see less of her. It’s so gradual, you don’t notice.
Has anyone talked to her chauffeur???
And as a registered democrat she voted faithfully the democrat ticket.
