Woman Dead in Bed for a Year

Divorced guys reading this report may initially think it's about their ex-wives. But no, despite how applicable the title may be to one's ex-wife, the story is actually about the unreported death of an octogenarian in Manchester, England.

Eighty-four-year-old Doreen Hulme died last year in her bed and was just left there by her daughter.

Hulme's daughter Vivien, 57, was arrested and later released on bail. It's not clear what she is being charged with.

Neighbors had noticed a strong smell coming from the house but chalked it up as a dead animal buried in the garden. Sadly, it was actually a dead animal in the house. No offense intended.

Although stories of people continuing to live with the corpse of a loved one are infrequent, they are not unusual. Every now and then we hear of them.

What's interesting is that someone is even capable of living in the same house with a decomposing human body. The overpowering stench would indicate that the person has a very strong stomach and possibly suffers from a degraded sense of smell. Typically, the ability to smell degenerates with age so this type of story usually involves older people.

Nevertheless, divorced guys might mention (tongue in cheek) to their ex-wives that there's a story about them at Interested-Participant. I welcome new readers.
