Recall this incident? I looked up the report to see if there are any updates. The final medical examiner report came in listing the death as a natural one. I wasn't familiar with medical terminology. The big words were 'asthcleroerotic cardiovascular disease,' 'chronic ethanolism,' 'pulmonary emphysema.' In layman's terms it means he had a bad heart and he drank too damn much. The final words in the report were "this case is closed!" That's it! A man's whole life is officially over, complete, done away with. Nobody else to pay attention to him. In a way of speaking it is depressing. It's like now he never existed. The reason it seems depressing is that someday, someone will write those words on a report or a death certificate for all us and everything we've ever done and accomplished....finito! These are the photographs of the house the day we went into it and didn't find his body. A month later, and after three days of digging through this mess, his body was found in the kitchen, by the refrigerator underneath all that mess (pictures 2 and 3 from the top).

I once ended up shoveling out a trailer house that looked eerily like this. The guy didn't take out the trash, didn't wash a dish, didn't flush the toilet until it was a necessity....
You can't even wrap your brain around it, can you? Even now, when I think about it, I can't really believe it.
Yeesh!
I wish I could say your photos represent the worst case I've ever seen. I wish.
For a dirty house that is pretty clean compared to some of the crack houses. I bet the Bio Tech's had fun cleaning up that scene.....lol
That might be the last thing that is written about him or anyone else. I hope I leave a legacy for people to remember. In the Native American culture the names of the dead are not spoken but their accomplishments and lagacy is.
Where are the Fritos? Jeeesh, everybody knows you can't drink that much beer without Fritos.
