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.

Sounds like good old "I don't give a crap about anybody else but me Germany" to me............

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.
