OK, I got one from a hotel in Ft. Schlauderdale.

I do business with this joint, it's not a fleebag, but well on its way.

An elderly gentleman checked in and paid for a three-day stay with his credit card, he didn't check out on his scheduled date. The asst. manager went to check on the room, and saw that there was a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door, and through a crack in those heavy hotel drapes, he could see the guy sleeping in bed, so he left.

Three days later, they finally opened the door, and you guessed it, the old guy had been dead for days. The air conditioning was blasting and there was no bad odor yet.

The hotel contacted the cops, who took the body away. I was sitting with the manager the day after (I had already been told the story) when the asst. manager called him to inquire how post the loss of revenue for the three days that the guy was dead in the room. The manager yelled at him, and told him that there was no loss, just to charge the guy's credit card for the extra days he occupied the room.
