Mummified Body in front of Blaring TV

It sounds like a horror movie, but it is front page news on CNN. The mummified remains of a man were found today in front of a blaring television set. The seventy year old man is supposed to have died of natural causes while watching his favorite TV shows.

He had been dead for a year when somebody reported a broken water pipe and police went inside the house to investigate. The TV MAN had been dead for over a year.

I have problems with this story.

1) Water dept, not police checks water mains.
2) Electricity still on a year later without paying?
3) Nobody reported a terrible odor.
4) No nosy neighbors tried to rob the place.
5) Overgrown lawn did not attract attention.

Look at the photo. Grass is short!
