Man's body found in front of TV year after death

Updated: 1:06 p.m. ET Feb 17, 2007
HAMPTON BAYS, N.Y. - The partially mummified body of a man dead for more than a year has been found in a chair in front of his television, which was still on, authorities said.
Vincenzo Ricardo, 70, apparently died of natural causes, said Dr. Stuart Dawson, Suffolk County’s deputy chief medical examiner.
Police found Ricardo’s body this week when they investigated a report of burst pipes.
The home’s dry air had preserved his features, morgue assistant Jeff Bacchus said.
“You could see his face. He still had hair on his head,” Bacchus said.
Ricardo’s wife died years ago, and he lived alone, Dawson said.
“He hasn’t been heard from in over a year. That’s the part that baffles me,” he said. “Nobody sounded the alarm.”
Neighbors said they had thought Ricardo was in a hospital or nursing home.
“We never thought to check on him,” said neighbor Diane Devon.

What channel was he watching?
"How about a little fire Scarecrow ?"
Seriously though, what kind of cable and electric company is giving a year of deliquency before they kill the juice?
Remember that heatwave in France a few years ago? Over 300+ (it might have been more) elderly were left to their own accord and they perished under the sweltering heat. None of their family bothered to check up on them and many still had to be located once the bodies were discovered.
weird.

<< <i>what about Mail? wouldnt the mail box be over flowing? and the smell?
weird. >>
I have to agree with Boba on this--the utilities on an autopay makes sense. But the mail piling up should have been an indicator--unless the mailman took it upon himself to stop delivering. I know we have a postal worker or two on the boards--guys, what is protocol in a situation where mail piles up?
Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

Not if he had a door with a mailslot, that would just overflow right into the entry way and you would never know it.
