I found this story about a mummified body found in front of blaring TV to be frightening. Is this another example of apathy (supporting Tess' theory) or what?
Clues:
Not seeing a person leaving or going to house for over a year
Mailbox stuffed full of mail
Phone books and other delivered papers piling up
No family or friends noticed he wasn't around
Bills not being paid (auto-pay for everything still isn't possible I'm pretty certain)
I realize when you get to a certain age that many family and friends would have passed on before you. But I would like to think that at least one person would notice I wasn't around...even if it was the meter reader or my doctor's office.
This is an example of so many people not even noticing, I can't even wrap my head around it.

This is frightening and sad! I would like to think that at least one of our neighbors would investigat - and I think the angry neighbor across the street would at least complain about the loud tv!
The freakiest thing for me was hearing that the television was STILL ON for two years!
Apathy, not high blood pressure, is the silent killer!
