A recluse’s life ended in the same manner that he had lived - unnoticed. His overweight corpse lay unmoved in a bathtub full of water as nature took its course. His body went through the cycles of death: rigor mortis followed by the process of decomposition. His flesh began to shrivel and then bloat as gases escaped his decomposing body. Bloating of the flesh is normal after death but the water made the process significantly exaggerated. Weeks went by but still no one noticed. Every now and then a drop of water would wander out of the bathtub’s faucet and fall on his bloated body. Of course, the man’s neighbors would have no way to know what was happening, but the water had begun to pool, eventually flowing out of the tub. Water damage began to appear on the ceiling below. But water wasn’t the only thing leaking from the floor above. The man’s flesh had rotted away from the body with the water and had seeped in the same cracks that the water had, raining its putrid load on the unsuspecting occupants below. When crime scene cleaner Neal Smither reached the scene, the police and paramedics still hadn’t figured out how to get the body out of the tub. During the time the body had been allowed to rot, the flesh had expanded more and more, until it finally sealed the bathtub like a cork. “Their problem was that they couldn’t get their hands around him to strap him and yank him out of the tub,” remembers an amused Smither. The police needed Smither to help them poke a hole under the man’s collarbone. “We were then able to feed our water pump hose through the hole, turn it on and release the pressure which allowed the body to sag a bit and lift him out.”

It is so very sad to think that after a life time on this Earth, His demise made so little difference to anyone , that he was left to rot in a bathtub till he decomposed. That no one cared enough to even notice he was not around or called them. It breaks ones heart to think this happens on many occasions . Angel

Didn't I read somewhere that this happened and the remaining fluid actually dripped into the soup of the people downstairs??

I agree with Angel on that...its so terrible to think he wasnt even liked let alone loved by anyone.Poor guy..
I may be female and young but I have enough courage to suffer this death and thousands more. |
