Pigs don’t smell their own filth. Apparently the whole house was pretty disgusting....

the man’s skin was stuck to the chair with urine and feces. Maggots were visible,

This guy likely had these Maggots internally as well....would be interesting to see if they do an autopsy and those findings....imagine nobody would want to do that job...

By the way - how come folks can draw SS disability for being fat?

In WA it's apparantly quite easy to do. I've screened many such potential tenents for my apartments.

I'm thinking there's more to this story. Maybe this was a “group home” environment and all the parties involved didn't know better. A sad,sad way to go.

Nip Tuck had a show exactly like this, a few years ago. I couldn't believe it was true, but obviously it happens more than we know.
