Red face Man found dead on futon after 10 years



Man Dead On Futon For Nearly 10 Years Before Family Notices
Father Found Lying Dead On Futon

POSTED: 2:52 pm EST March 9, 2005

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.

They probably weren't as lively as they once were.

Thats Hilarious. Not that he died, But the fact that his family is so stupid.

I Wonder if they ever went to him for advice and stuff while he was dead. I Picture them acting like hes still alive and having conversations with him and everything all those years. That would make an AWESOME Sitcom!

I'm wondering the exact same thing.

It's kind of sad if you think about it though...It's as if the man's kids ignored him if they didn't know he's been dead for so long.
