Apparently, sometimes a person may not be considered dead until there is no more money.

Did anyone deposit any of her government checks, pension checks or unemployment?

[rhinohunter]

Always sad to read these stories -— not because they died but because they were so alone that no one noticed.

[cloudmountain]

She had no one in the world who cared for her.
Very sad.

[unixfox]

I’m surprised the IRS didn’t find her before anybody else.

[gaijin]

Nah —I remember one London, England case from 3 years ago where the stiff was in there for OVER TWENTY YEARS..!!

:O

The mail-slot was up high, and the pile still hadn’t reached that high.

A good reason not to sign up for automatic bill pay.

Maybe she had those directly deposited into the same account mentioned here.

Anyone think that they should pull the voting records for her district and see if she has been ‘waking up’ to do her civic duty??

[latina4dubya]

a neighbor cut her lawn for the six years that she’s been dead?

True - how about filing taxes?

Five years of not paying property taxes and no sheriff knocked on the door?

[hinckley buzzard]

They were probably all direct deposit. The government has had that for many years.

Related to this German fellow?

Property taxes are commonly paid out of escrow collected by the mortgage holder.

It reminds me of when Rod Taylor disappeared in the Time Machine, and his friend Alan Young kept paying the bills.

This woman sitting there is like Rod Taylor unseen in the time machine in his house.

Mine is paid via an escrow account attached to my mortgage- as long as I pay my mortgage, I’m paying My property taxes too. As well as my homeowners insurance.

I bet she had an impressive stack of junk mail at the PO. I wonder if they needed to lease a storage unit for it?
