Wonder why dad hasn't left the futon in 10 years?

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

POSTED: 2:52 pm EST 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.

No way.

Futons last 5, 6 years tops.

It may sound fishy. But it smells more like bull crap.

My theory is they killed Dad and dug up someone with similar DNA to put in his place. Possibly an Uncle. And buried Dad in the Uncle's place.

I'm not watching TV with Dad. He smells and that room is freezing.

But seriously, I understand this.

I mean, everyone has that room in their home they haven't been in for about 10 years.
