Man Dead On Futon For Nearly 10 Years Before Family Notices
Father Found Lying Dead On Futon

POSTED: 1:52 pm CST March 9, 2005

TOKYO -- A Japanese man and his two sisters were worried something might be wrong with dad. And they were right.

The old man had been dead for nearly a decade. Police questioned the three elderly siblings Tuesday, after the decomposing body of their father was found lying on a futon bed in the family's home.

Police said the man's children thought he was still alive, but became worried lately and consulted a relative. Police said judging by the condition of the remains, the father could have died as long as 10 years ago.

3. I'm assuming they hadn't visited their dad in over 10 years,
otherwise this story is very weird.

7. It didn't say that in the article that was posted.

Unless we're supposed to assume they lived their because it said the "family's home". I figure you can own a home and not live there. Plus, they could just be refering to the fact that the home was owned by someone in their family, not necessarily the kids.
Do you have a link to a different article with this information?
