Man Lives with Dead Brother for 18 Months

LONDON (Reuters) - A British retiree did not notice his brother had been dead for 18 months despite sharing a mobile home with him.

When Herbert Silver, 72, finally called police and told them his brother George, 75, had died, they went to the bachelors' home expecting to find a body. Instead they found a skeleton, British newspapers reported Thursday.

"I admit that I didn't go into his room for a few hours, a few days...well quite a while actually," Herbert Silver told the Daily Telegraph.

Silver said he had thought it a "bit odd" when his brother failed to emerge from his bedroom in the tiny home they shared in Blissford, southern England, but told the Daily Mirror:

"George liked to keep himself to himself, and to be honest so do I." A postmortem indicated George Silver had been dead for up to 18 months

Holy fuck thats sick. But I guess this old guy is probably a bit fucked up himself as well not to have though something was up.

people decompose from being alive to being nothing but a skeleton in under 18 months?

That must have stunk to high heaven. You'd think he'd notice the smell.

It's sad what happens to some people when they get old.

If you have children...treat them well.

At least they could be there for you to make sure you don't harm yourself or others.

probably hard to distinguish between rotting flesh smell and normal euro trash smell.
