Family lived with father's body for 10 years
 Japanese police questioned three siblings yesterday after it was discovered they had been living with the decomposed corpse of their father for nearly a decade. Police found the body of Kyujiro Kanaoka lying on a futon bed at the family's home in Itami, western Japan. Kanaoka's three children, all in their 70s or older, told police they thought their father was still alive, but that one of them had recently consulted a relative about the possibility that he might be dead, a police spokesman said. Police were investigating the cause of Kanaoka's death. Judging from the condition of his body, he may have died as long as 10 years ago, the spokesman added. Had he been alive, the man would be 107 years old. Hyogo prefecture had registered Kanaoka as its oldest living resident,1. Didn't move for ten years 2. Never spoke. 3. Never ate. 4. Rotting corpse Yep, I'd say he's dead. Posted by: Chuck Simmins 2005-03-09 |
