This is something. I've heard of this happening before. I remember a story from about a year ago along similar lines. I'm always amazed that someone can go unnoticed for so long, especially with a "blaring" TV.

Wouldn't they have cut off his power for not paying the bills?

More importantly, what TV did he have? It worked for 1 year nonstop. :rotfl:

Grief im surprised he didnt have visitors or something, im sure some one should have noticed he hadnt been out the house in a year, not to mention the cable company and tv licencing.

The TV that keeps going... long after you do!
The TV that will keep you sitting on your ass long into the afterlife!

I tried.

A mummified body in front of a TV?

Sounds like conceptual art reflecting modern times.

CATV, electrics and other utilities included in the rent. Rent paid with a debit card. Enough money in the bank account for at least one year of rent. A hallway that smells so bad the odor of a rotting corpse goes unnoticed?
