[Regnum] In the US state of Connecticut, police found the skeleton of a 73-year-old female detective in a pile of trash that had accumulated in her home. This was reported by the publication People.
Detective Mary Notarangelo retired in 1996. She lived alone in the house for all those years. Last July, a friend told police he had received a strange text message from a woman a few weeks earlier, complaining of stomach pain and vomiting. The man had asked to check on Notarangelo.
He waited weeks to ask for a welfare check?
To search for the woman, police brought in a specially trained dog and a drone. In addition, employees of the Environmental Protection Agency and a hazardous biological waste collection company took part in the search operation.
The detective's house had accumulated so much trash that it had to be cleared away with an excavator. The woman's body was eventually found in February 2025.
"I've never seen conditions like this," said Glastonbury Police Chief Marshall Porth.
He added that the remains of birds in cages and a large number of mice were also found in the house.
Forensic experts were unable to determine the cause of the detective's death due to advanced decomposition.
According to Fox News, the retired police detective, who admittedly had a hording problem, texted her friend on June 12, 2024. Three weeks later, he contacted the police, who first stopped by the house on July 3rd, then returned on the 5th, 11th, 12th, and November 20th without being able to find any sign of the lady. On February 24th the bio waste company went in with the excavator. NBC Connecticut reports:
On Feb. 24, an environmental services crew arrived with a small excavator. Plywood was removed from the front door area and crews used the excavator to carefully remove the contents of the home through the opening. Notarangelo's remains were discovered within minutes, police said.

...If you've ever seen Hoarders - and once you've seen it, it's like watching a train wreck - a surprising number of these people look and act remarkably well put together...until you see the inside of their homes. Sounds like DET Notarangelo may have come under that heading.
[FoxNews] A fairytale turned into a nightmare after authorities reveal that the man killed by a lightning strike on a Florida beach was on his honeymoon.
The Volusia County Beach Safety confirmed to WTVG that the victim, a 29-year-old man, was visiting from Colorado with his new bride, when he was struck by lightning on Friday afternoon while he was standing in ankle-deep water.
The victim was taken to a local hospital in critical condition, where he later died from his injuries, Volusia County Beach Safety Director Tammy Malphurs shared in an update on Monday with WESH.
Malphurs told the outlet that the storm was still miles away from the beach, making the strike "an extremely rare occurrence."
"It was clear blue sky, and the storm was like miles away from us," a witness described to WESH.
Volusia County Mike Chitwood addressed the tragedy and also confirmed the victim was a tourist visiting on his honeymoon.

[FE] Lt. Colonel Vladimir "Popski" Peniakoff ranks among the most creatively unhinged military commanders in history. Through quirks of the WWII British military system, he ended up with a special command that, had he played by the rules, he never would have had. He employed it brilliantly and extensively for behind-enemy-lines guerilla raids, with damn little in the way of adult supervision.
At one point in Italy, he became aware of an entire German division garrisoned in a medieval mountain town. A division would have well over 10,000 men. In contrast, Popski had only a couple dozen. So, his usual traditional guerrilla hit-and-run ambush tactics wouldn’t do much, especially because the Italian mountains did not offer the same escape and evasion opportunities as the enormous desert of North Africa, where he had developed his tactics. But then, he had one of his crazed brainstorms.
The whole strategic point was taking real estate, forcing the enemy back. What if he just scared them off? And, maybe, say, stole their trucks?
This occurred about the same time he’d met a local Italian partisan commander, a Major Ferri. He and Popski immediately agreed to throw in together, and an audacious plot was hatched. Many partisan commanders often executed captured Germans, but Ferri had instead held his as prisoners.

[BBC] A powerful new telescope in Chile has released its first images, showing off its unprecedented ability to peer into the dark depths of the universe.
In one picture, vast colourful gas and dust clouds swirl in a star-forming region 9,000 light years from Earth.
The Vera C Rubin observatory, home to the world's most powerful digital camera, promises to transform our understanding of the universe.
If a ninth planet exists in our solar system, scientists say this telescope would find it in its first year.
It should detect killer asteroids in striking distance of Earth and map the Milky Way. It will also answer crucial questions about dark matter, the mysterious substance that makes up most of our universe.
In a press conference on Monday, the observatory revealed that in 10 hours, the telescope detected 2,104 new asteroids and seven space objects close to Earth.
All other space and ground surveys combined usually find about 20,000 asteroids in a year.
This once-in-a-generation moment for astronomy is the start of a continuous 10-year filming of the southern night sky.
"I personally have been working towards this point for about 25 years. For decades we wanted to build this phenomenal facility and to do this type of survey," says Professor Catherine Heymans, Astronomer Royal for Scotland.
The UK is a key partner in the survey and will host data centres to process the extremely detailed snapshots as the telescope sweeps the skies capturing everything in its path.
