In March 2011, a cable installer in Tumba, Sweden, discovered an elderly man who had been lying dead in his apartment unnoticed for 3 years! Horseshoe crabs predate the dinosaurs by about 100 million years! Worlds biggest biceps! Philip Breecher of Bumsville, Minn., USA, has natural biceps measuring 25 inches in circumference!

I guess he was dead tired!

I’d like to know how someone could lay there dead in an apartment, of all places, for three years without someone noticing. Who was paying his rent, for crying out loud?

If I had no friends and family why would I want to live?

With auto payments for bills like power, rent, and cable, it’s not really all that surprising.Perhaps the money ran out and the cable was being cut off even though the worker is called an “installer”.I’d be surprised if they have techs called “uninstallers”

He was just waiting for the cable guy. They aren’t usually quite that late for an appointment.

It’s no wonder they’re crabs! I wouldn’t want to predate a dinosaur, let alone date them. …good luck to the Horseshoe Crab, especially since it has existed more than 200,000,000 years before the original creation of the universe 6,000 to 10,000 years ago.

Something simler to this happened to Ms Yevette Vickers who co-starred in the classic pot-boiler “Attack of the 50 Foot Woman”. Sad to die alone with no loved ones but I guess this happens more than we would like to think.

Wonder if he gets a refund – obviously wasn’t using the service

It’s quite a mystery about the dead man lying there for 3 yearsl Didn’t anyone smell his rotting flesh or miss him?
Tinyman about 13 years ago
I agree with Iced Tea on the fact that the stench would have reached to High Heaven. As for anyone missing him maybe the other tenants thought he moved without telling anyone or not mailing the forwarding address form.

Too bad Breecher doesn’t have great looks to go with his muscles.
