"Standing outside, one could smell death," Owens said.



For two years!!!

I was all set to make a "Ring" joke until I read that.

Article says an air conditioner was running until very recently, which allowed the body to mumify.

I wonder who was paying her utility bills.

People were still living in the home! That's the craziest part! They lived down stairs and made her room a tomb!

They were.  

I was talking to an attorney this morning, and while making small talk she mentioned this case.

Cause SOMEONE has to do it, I quote you the following


Title: Bring Out Your Dead
From: Monty Python and the Holy Grail


A cart passes through the muddy road through a village.
A baby cries.  People wrestle in the mud.  A woman beats a cat.

The cart-master chants wearily as they trudge along, beating occasionally a large triangle with a wooden spoon:

Bring out your dead!
Bring out your dead!
Bring out your dead!

As each person comes forward with his or her dead relative, they throw them on
the cart.  He holds out his hand and they pay.

Bring out your dead!

A man comes out with a dead-looking old man in a nightshirst slung over his
shoulder.  He starts to put the old man on the cart.

Man:     Here's one-
Cart-master: Ninepence.
Old Man:     (feebly) I'm not dead!
Cart-master: (suprised) What?
Man:     Nothing!  Here's your ninepence....
Old Man:     I'm not dead!
Cart-master: 'Ere!  'E says 'e's not dead!
Man:     Yes he is.
Old Man:     I'm not!
Cart-master: 'E isn't?
Man:     Well... he will be soon-- he's very ill...
Old Man:     I'm getting better!
Man:     No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment.
Cart-master: I can't take 'im like that!  It's against regulations!
Old Man:     I don't want to go on the cart....
Man:     Oh, don't be such a baby.
Cart-master: I can't take 'im....
Old Man:     I feel fine!
Man:     Well, do us a favor...
Cart-master: I can't!
Man:     Can you hang around a couple of minutes?  He won't be long...
Cart-master: No, gotta get to Robinson's, they lost nine today.
Man:     Well, when's your next round?
Cart-master: Thursday.
Old Man:     I think I'll go for a walk....
Man:     You're not fooling anyone, you know--
    (to Cart-master) Look, isn't there something you can do...?

(they both look around)

Old Man:     I feel happy!  I feel happy!

(the Cart-master deals the old man a swift blow to the head with his wooden
spoon.  The old man goes limp.)

Man:     (throwing the old man onto the cart) Ah.  thanks very much.
Cart-master: Not at all.  See you on Thursday!
Man: Right!  All right....

That's exactly what I thought of.

"...Or is it because you don't have the guts, boy.  Huh, boy?  Do you have the guts?"
"SHUT UP, SHUT UP!"

That's probably how I will be found........dead for three years and mummified in front of my computer with a thread of SteyerAug's on my screen.

Authorities did not identify the caregiver, a women in her 40s who apparently lived in the home with Pope, Pope's daughter and her 3-year-old granddaughter


"Where's your mummy?"

"Oh she's up stairs watching TV"
