Frankfurter cops found a dead 66-year-old woman sitting upright on her sofa with the television blaring and a programming guide laying next to her open to a listing from early last September.
What finally brought the cops? The drone of day and night Seinfeld reruns? The dull flash of the television in a darkened room? The unpaid cable bill? No. It was a full mailbox...
Guessing as to why no one noticed the woman absent from daily life inspector Ulrich Demmer of Hesse noted, "Unfortunately, societal and demographic changes mean that such cases are increasing. Causes are lacking social ties and, in part, the desire for anonymity."
Wonder how long a TV stays on if you die in a chair? Guess it depends how quickly your pets learn to change the channel.
