Japanese Siblings Live With Dead Parent

 

1 hour, 8 minutes ago

 

 

TOKYO - Police on Tuesday questioned three siblings after it was

discovered they had been living with the decomposed corpse of their father

for nearly a decade, an official said.

 

Police found the body of Kyujiro Kanaoka lying on a futon bed at the

family's home in Itami city in Hyogo prefecture in western Japan, said a

prefectural police spokesman, who declined to be identified.

 

Kanaoka's three elderly children, all in their 70s or older, told

police they thought their father was still alive but that one of them

recently had consulted a relative about the possibility that he might be

dead, the spokesman said.

 

Police were investigating the cause of Kanaoka's death. Judging from

the condition of his decomposed body, Kanaoka may have died as long as 10

years ago, the spokesman said.

 

Had he been alive, the man would be 107 years old. Hyogo prefecture had

registered Kanaoka as its oldest living resident, public broadcaster

NHK said.

A load of old BORROCKS!

And this is as good a reason as any as to why we don't allow 'World's Oldest Living Person' as a legitimate entry onto the DeathList.

Yeah, he still had another 13 years to do.

 

Of course, it's possible that they couldn't bear to be parted from the old man, but my guess is that

the pension brought in more than the life insurance would have done.

That was exactly my thought when I first read it.

It's good to have a cynical mind.

That's what they reckon, but frankly, I don't believe it.
