Freaky story

In 1998, a landlord entered the Bonn, Germany, apartment of Wolfgang Dircks when rent invoices to Dircks's bank stopped being paid. The landlord found a skeleton in a chair in front of a television set that, though broken, was still on. Just as incredible was that Christmas lights on his tree were still blinking. Near his chair was a TV program guide from December 5, 1993. He probably died that day, and nobody, for at least five years, missed him.

Do they not have to pay there electric bills in Germany? You would think they would have killed his electric after 5 years of non-payment...unless he was filthy rich and was setup for autopay and also had no family that would have been concerned.

Maybe the rent at the apartment complex included all utilities.
