Man Found Living with Dead Housemate

Wed June 11, 2003 08:25 AM ET

BERLIN (Reuters) - German authorities put a 43-year-old man into psychiatric care after he was found living with his housemate who had been dead a month, police said on Wednesday.
Police discovered the rotting body of the 58-year-old man on his living room couch, following a tip-off from a hired gardener who grew suspicious after being repeatedly sent away. An autopsy on the body gave no hint of foul play, police said.

"The man told us he had just stopped eating," said Hans Roeck, a police spokesman in the southern town of Aalen.
---------------------------------------------
Hmmm, he noticed that his roomate stopped eating, but not that he stopped breathing. Honest mistake, I suppose.

That's just odd. The first thought that came to my mind was the "Weekend at Bernie's" shtick...

Wow that's pretty damn crazy. Just stop and think what it must be like to live and interact with a corpse, which is apparently what this lonely guy was doing. And the guy had been dead a MONTH?! He must've looked like the cryptkeeper! Is it really that hard to find a roommate?

Could just be denial.

My friend's father drove an ambulance. He had one case where a girl came home to find her brother in the shower, dead. He had hung himself and cut his wrists. As soon as she sees it, she goes into shock and denial. She goes out to a bar, meeting her friends. She picks up. Her and the guy go back to her house. The guy goes to the bathroom...

The guy called both the police and for an ambulance.

I bet this guy paid his rent in advance.

Yeah, after a month... the stench would be nasty. As would the insects. What's that song with "and the worms ate into his brain"? Imagine living with a corpse as the maggots ate him, etc.

Yum yum yum! Oh, I'm sorry, were you eating?

"Good" is not the word I'd use for one that kills you where you sit. Must've not have been "Survivor".

I wonder if the 43 year old guy knew his room mate was dead. If not, it'd be funny if he yelled at him. Something like, "Clean up man!" or "Take shower, man! You reek!". Either he was just lazy or really crazy.

A few years ago, there was this guy living down at the end of my street, that used to break into the crypts in the cemetary, and sleep amongst the bones. Every other week or so, they would discover another crypt broken into. Finally, they staked a few out, and caught this spooky fucker. Damn, it takes all kinds to make this weird-ass world to go around!

I'd say for sure that man needs psychiatric care. How could he have not noticed the smell, and not speak to his roomie for a whole month? Very odd and unsettling if you ask me.

Can't agree with that. We have all kinds. Whether we need all kinds is another issue. :err:

Wasn't there another crazy German who let his mother rot in his house?

The smell! Dear God, the reek!

I know my housecleaning wouldn't win any awards but I draw the line at dead people!

There's a limit to how stupid you can be until you're classified as mentally retarded, this guy wasn't so much stupid as he was completely insane.
