Semi-fresh off the wire--
Man Found In Apartment 20 Years After His Death
Associated Press
Thursday, June 10, 2004
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

TOKYO -- The decomposed body of a man dressed in pajamas was discovered
in an abandoned Tokyo apartment building 20 years after he is believed to
have died, police said.
A Tokyo Metropolitan Police official said construction workers were
preparing to tear down the building earlier this month when they found
the man's skeletal remains laying face-up on a mattress on the tatami
reed mat floor of a second-floor room.
The morning edition of a newspaper dated Feb. 20, 1984, was on a table
nearby and a calendar, opened to the same month, hung on the wall, said
the official, who refused to be identified.
The official would not say how the man died. Newspaper reports quoted
police as saying that there were no signs of struggle, which led
investigators to believe he died of an illness.
The man, identified only as former worker of the company that built the
apartments, was in his mid-50s when he divorced his wife, left home and
moved into the building in the early 1980s, the official said.
Police believe the man had been unable to repay bank loans and had
stopped showing up for work, according to the newspaper reports.
But nobody noticed his death because the real estate agency managing the
property went out of business after the building was completed in 1973
without ever having found renters, he said. The building had been
unoccupied since it was completed.
The man's remains have been returned to his ex-wife, the official said. |

Just as astounding...in a city as crowded as Tokyo, an apartment buiding
sits unoccupied for THIRTY years?
WTF?

Maybe he died while 'still' waiting for the American invasion of the
home islands to begin?

I would have thought it was a hoax myself, but it was
off the SF Chronicle's web site under their weird news.
Now there's another one I heard on the radio yesterday
that I think is a hoax out of china where they said
a woman who went swimming had a frog's egg get into her...
er, private area and it went through it's tadpole stage
inside her and came out a fully formed frog, now that one
is fake! But then this would explain all those 6 billion
chinese! |
