The decomposed corpse of a German man was found alone in his bed after nearly seven years, police in the western city of Essen said Thursday.

The police said in a statement the man was 59 and unemployed at the time of his death. He most likely died of natural causes on November 30, 2000, the date he received a letter from the Welfare Office found in the apartment, police said.

Next to the dead man's bed police found cigarettes, an open television guide and Deutschemark coins, which came out of circulation after the euro was introduced in 2002.

The man's apartment was in a building with offices and apartments, many of which are now empty.

"No one missed him. No missing person report was ever filed," the police said.

Raph's Girl note: No one missed him and apperantly nobody noticed an odd odour coming from the APARTMENT! Blech!

That's probably one of the craziest things I've heard. Crazy.

*shakes head* This is my greatest fear for myself. No one missed me...no one worried....and there I was in my apartment for 7 years.

Man, I coud never imagine something like that hapening.

He might have been a hermit. Which would explain why no one mentioned him missing.

wow this is quite interesting news.. no one misses him.. seems like he was a hermit.. i never heard of this kind of thing before and it is really scary thinking of it could be anyone.

I do know of a story about a woman that kept her husbands corpse in their bed for years. She didn't want to let go. So she someone got ahold of the corpse after the funeral and she slept next to him for the next few years. I saw this on a show about urban legends and whether or not they were true. Low and behold, this crazy one was true.

Now, this story is just...just...I don't know. I mean, the guy rotted in the apartment. That's the difference between this one and the lady with her husband's corpse. At least the husband was embalmed.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 05-11-2007, 09:20 PM

still that story you explain was really really rare and one of a kind story.

I can't imagine if that is the kind of true love or not?

RaphistheBest · 05-11-2007, 10:20 PM

I'm not sure if I would say if it was true love or not. That's a little too extreme for me to be true love...I think that it boarders on the obessive-crazy kind of love, ya know.

i think this is one of the most depressing things i've heard lately.

*Revan* · 05-11-2007, 10:46 PM

Oh no.

I would like to think that when my time comes, someone at least notices.

*Buslady* · 05-14-2007, 12:40 PM

thats the worst thing...to die alone

my ex-step dad died alone from liver disease caused by boozing.

*VaughnMichael* · 05-14-2007, 12:44 PM

Didn't this man have bills to pay? I mean reguardless of no family you would think some sort of collector would come knocking...or a neighbor anyone who has some sort of sence of smell would smell a 7 year old rotting corpse...shesh

He was on welfare...so whatever bills he had was being payed off by the government. This happened in Australia last year when a man who had died 3 years earlier was found in his apartment by the manager. All his bills were being payed off via the government welfare program.

As for his neighbors...well the apartment building was basically all but abandoned so he didn't have any neighbors really.

nice more wasted funds...I figured as much...this is why the government needs to check up on this stuff and stop handing out freebees to people when people who actully need this stuff can't even get it..
