Man dead a year found in front of TV

The sadness is not his death, but that he lived a life where nobody cared that he was missing. How lonely an existence might that be?

 

It's easy for no one to notice you're dead when you hang out with Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman.

 

Do they do the paper in braile every day?

 

Well, the paper boy would need to be awful accurate for Mr. Blind and lonely to locate it every day. Then again, searching for the paper every morning might have been a worthwhile activity for him.

 

Apparently, this guy was a grumpy sort who alienated the one woman who tried to take care of him.

The house could not be seen from the street, and this is a pretty remote town on Long Island. Still, that's terrible. How can NO ONE check in on him? And how does his electric stay on for a whole fucking year? Screw you Keyspan, I'm not paying my bill for a year! You've set a precedent!!!

And the award for cold biotch of the year goes to...

At a neighborhood gathering last month, residents commented that they hadn't seen Riccardi in a while, neighbor Diane Devon said. "We never thought to check on him," she said.

 

Bye Sandy.

 

Well, sometimes you're famous and nobody cares.

Alice in Chains' Layne Staley was found dead in his Seattle home on Friday evening.

The King County Medical Examiner positively identified Staley's body on Saturday (April 20), following an autopsy. Exact time and cause of death are pending, as laboratory results could take several weeks, a spokesperson said. Staley was 34.

Police responded to a call to check on Staley's well-being that was placed by a family member who claimed to have not spoken to Staley for two weeks. They arrived at Staley's address with the family member in Seattle's University District at 5:41 p.m. PT on Friday, according to the police report. Upon discovering his body on the couch surrounded by intravenous drug paraphernalia, according to the Associated Press, officers called investigators from the medical examiner's office, who arrived on the scene at approximately 7:30-8:00 p.m., a spokesperson said. Authorities said he'd been dead for several days, so the body wasn't immediately identifiable as that of Staley, whose longtime battle with drug dependency was a central component of his band's music — a dark and bombastic sound that continues to influence artists some 15 years after the group first formed.
