A place I would not want to live...

TOKYO -- A Japanese man and his two sisters were worried something might be wrong with dad. And they were right.

The old man had been dead for nearly a decade. Police questioned the three elderly siblings Tuesday, after the decomposing body of their father was found lying on a futon bed in the family's home.

Police said the man's children thought he was still alive, but became worried lately and consulted a relative. Police said judging by the condition of the remains, the father could have died as long as 10 years ago.

No call me crazy but I would have thought if the smell wasn't a clue as to his status then the fact that he had not eaten much in 10 years would have caught their attention. Unless of course they thought it was a new fad diet.

Geesh!
