Man Lives For A Year With Decomposing Wife

<snip>

A 71-year-old man in Germany lived for about a year with the decomposing body of his wife until neighbours reported the stench from their apartment to authorities, police said overnight.

Officers called to the flat in Dresden, in eastern Germany, found the mummified body of the 75-year-old woman, who had apparently died of natural causes, lying in the couple's bed.

Police said they had no reason to suspect foul play.

2. That's one way to ensure

You won't be hit up with a $22,000 bill for sex.

10. I love William Faulkner. He was a Mississippi author.

I think I read that story in Lit in college.

7. Hey, buddy, it's "til death do us part"

After that, you're off the hook.

9. What a tragic story...

Unless he makes a statement somewhere about how she was so lazy in life
he didn't notice the difference.

12. Must have been tough to change the sheets with her lying there like that.

I don't know why I think of these stupid things. I just do.
