Mummified body found in front of blaring TV Options

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Police called to a Long Island man's house discovered the mummified remains of the resident, dead for more than a year, sitting in front of a blaring television set.

The 70-year-old Hampton Bays, New York, resident, identified as Vincenzo Ricardo, appeared to have died of natural causes. Police said on Saturday his body was discovered on Thursday when they were called to the house over a burst water pipe.

"You could see his face. He still had hair on his head," Newsday quoted morgue assistant Jeff Bacchus as saying. The home's low humidity had preserved the body.

Officials could not explain why the electricity had not been turned off, considering Ricardo had not been heard from since December 2005.

Neighbors said when they had not seen Ricardo, who was diabetic and had been blind for years, they assumed he was in the hospital or a long-term care facility.

Apparently, it's still possible to go totally unnoticed in this modern era >_>, although it's kind of scary to imagine the life this man lead that nobody wondered of his whereabouts since he (supposedly) died in December 2005.

I have been immediately reminded of this song after I finished reading the article, although Black Flag's TV Party could have been a solid candidate for the OST to the most morbid article of 2007 xP.
