Man found dead in bar....

Very sad, I think, but a bar is more believable - how are you to know if the guy is dead, or just passed out and stinky?

Heh, glad to see I'm not the only one who remembered Collateral after reading this. Still there was something similar to this a few weeks ago. Apparently some older fellow died while sitting at home in front of the TV set.

By the time folks called to complain about the blaring TV set an entire year had passed by and he was somewhat preserved due to the settings in the house. I always wondered how the hell the electricity didn't get cut off.

I'm just amazed some folks literally have no one, not even their neighbors, to check up on them.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Wouldn't that have increased his chances of being found earlier if he was there like that every night? Someone would recognize him or remember that there's always that dude that's knocked the hell out.

I chalk it up to people too wrapped up in their routine to notice the folks who fell between the cracks.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
