NEW YORK (Reuters) – Police called to a Long Island man’s house discovered the mummified remains of the resident, dead for more than a year, sitting in front of a blaring television set.
The 70-year-old Hampton Bays, New York, resident, identified as Vincenzo Ricardo, appeared to have died of natural causes. Police said on Saturday his body was discovered on Thursday when they were called to the house over a burst water pipe.
“You could see his face. He still had hair on his head,” Newsday quoted morgue assistant Jeff Bacchus as saying. The home’s low humidity had preserved the body.
Officials could not explain why the electricity had not been turned off, considering Ricardo had not been heard from since December 2005.
Neighbors said when they had not seen Ricardo, who was diabetic and had been blind for years, they assumed he was in the hospital or a long-term care facility.
That’s nothing. Pookie’s body, with bony hand still clutching a glass of petrified cheap red, will be discovered TWO years after she meets her Maker, sitting in front of her laptop with Cryptogon.com still on the monitor. Her discoverers will note that she died on or about 2 August 2012, the date of Kevin’s latest posting: “Condi and Shrub’s Love Child Adopted by Premier (the Rev.) Sun Myung Moon; Slated to Become Bride of Kissinger and Thatcher’s Son in Televised Ceremony at UN Headquarters.” Enterprising neighbors earn some fast bucks by charging admission to view the deceased. One curious onlooker will comment, “It’s like, you know, so totally gross. You can even see she was a blonde.”
