It's so sad when things like this happen. :-(

Police are investigating the death of a man whose body was reportedly found by officers in a mummified state during a welfare check.

Queensland police are investigating after a mummified body was reportedly found inside a Gold Coast home.

Police found the body of a 69-year-old man at a home on Edinburgh Rd, Benowa, on April 17.

A Queensland Police spokeswoman told NCA NewsWire an investigation was launched into the man’s sudden death after police discovered his body during a welfare check about 2.50pm.

The body had reportedly been there between 18 months to two years and was found in a mummified state.

Investigations are continuing.
But was he just a lonely person or an evil 1 that it took so long to get a welfare check done?

R.I.P. anyway.

Questionable Wiggo. Reminds me of a senior woman found in her garage in a car. The only reason a welfare check was made was after the money in her bank account ran out.

Very likely the same reason in this case and many others Admiral, but the story behind why it did take so long is rarely revealed.

Surely the family and neighbours should've noticed something was wrong earlier than that. :-(

Not her first time robbing a bank - previously in 2014.
New Orleans woman with walker tried to rob bank on North Broad Street, feds say
A 63-year-old woman was arrested Friday morning after trying to rob a New Orleans bank while clutching a walker.
...
A security camera captured Hamilton waiting on line while gripping a four-wheeled walking aid. The teller complied, surrendering $500 to Hamilton, who didn’t make it far, the complaint states. A bank security officer escorted her back inside the branch, where New Orleans Police Department officers soon arrested her. The FBI took Hamilton into custody.

We only reached the 15C mark (felt like 13C, just) here today, but as the lite rain gets more persistent it's now down to 12C (feels like 11C).

I got my last tasks for the day done by the time I made it to the pub for LLB, though I did have people looking for me by that time and eventually found me there as the 1st of the showers started rolling through here. Then I was going through tubs back under my bed looking for certain cables (note to self: write on tub lids what's in them; I get to that 1 day) while enjoying a few more beers.

Anyhow it's time to provide Dog with shed service (her shed, not mine) and the think about feeding myself.

Cheers.

It is already 78f with the upper 80s forcast for this afternoon with the possibility of Thor making an appearance. I turned on the AC late yesterday afternoon and I expect it will stay on for the next few days.

Court Room Exchange:

Attorney: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
Witness: No.
Attorney: Did you check blood pressure?
Witness: No.
Attorney: Did you check for breathing?
Witness: No.
Attorney: So then it is possible that the patient was still alive when you began the autopsy.
Witness: No
Attorney: How can you be so sure Doctor?
Witness: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar
Attorney: But could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?
Witness: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.
