Woman's death not noticed for eight months

http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/World/2009/12/16/12175996-ap.html

The body of an elderly woman remained in her bed for up to eight months even though caretakers paid daily visits to the house and kept it tidy, authorities said Wednesday.

So they never noticed the smell?

Her body was found after the caller, whose identity was being withheld by authorities, reported that an elderly woman in the home was unconscious and not breathing.

"Oh, and her skin's rotting off. Is that bad?"

How lovely.

Yeah, that happened to me once.

I suspect foul play here. Yea. I totally do.Wilfred_Owen

Kept the house tidy? That's just mind boggling, you'd think after visiting the place for 8 months and only having to dust off the mantle once or twice somebody might have noticed that nobody had even been living there. Who'd they think she was? Some sort of invisible cleanliness bot that stunk like rotting flesh?

I had cleaners like that once – 'oh for sure yes we came round and cleaned your house - $100 please'. Did they **** I think what we see here are dodgy cleaners being found out. They just never cleaned and took the cash.

I know old people have ther certain smell to them but damn.

The caretakers weren't expected to change the bedsheets?

wow they did not notice she was dead? for 8 months?!? sad... X[

Umm...that's icky. -Sun_Tzu-

...and possibly sticky.

That's just a epic fail for the people that did not notice it.

Wow. Feel really sorry for her.

that's pretty creepy

Clearly there were wizards at work here.
