Tokyo's 'oldest man' had been dead for 30 years
    #12977841 -

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-10809128

He was thought to be the oldest man in Tokyo - but when officials went to congratulate Sogen Kato on his 111th birthday, they uncovered mummified skeletal remains lying in his bed.

Mr Kato may have been dead for 30 years according to Japanese authorities.

They grew suspicious when they went to honour Mr Kato at his address in Adachi ward, but his granddaughter told them he "doesn't want to see anybody".

Police are now investigating the family on possible fraud charges.

Welfare officials had tried to meet Mr Kato since early this year. But when they went to visit, family members repeatedly chased them away, according to Tomoko Iwamatsu, an Adachi ward official.

Authorities grew suspicious and sought an investigation by police, who forced their way into the house on Wednesday.

They discovered a mummified body, believed to be Kato, lying in his bed, wearing underwear and pyjamas, covered with a blanket.

Mr Kato's relatives told police that he had "confined himself in his room more than 30 years ago and became a living Buddha," according to a report by Jiji Press.

But the family had received 9.5 million yen ($109,000: £70,000) in widower's pension payments via Mr Kato's bank account since his wife died six years ago, and some of the money had recently been withdrawn.

The pension fund had long been unable to contact Mr Kato.

"His family must have known he has been dead all these years and acted as if nothing happened. It's so eerie," said Yutaka Muroi, a Tokyo metropolitan welfare official.

True dat. A few months ago a lady near where I live was found to be collecting on her fathers and husbands social security checks for over 15 years after she hid both of their bodies in a well. They both died of natural causes, but it's still pretty weird.

If I remember correctly, the investigation started after someone found skeletal remains in the well.

CREEPY! And yes, it happens in America as well as all over the world all the time.

Yeah, well this lady was smart and sealed them up in an old well.

I couldn't imagine letting a body slowly mummify in my house over the course of 30 years.

I'm sure being prosecuted for fraud would be the least of your worries.

At least it would be the real deal tho. I'm sick of all those bullshit haunted houses that don't feature actual dead bodies...

Send me the money and I'll buy one for ya. Just whatever you do, don't fall for all those Korean made knock off's they are selling on Ebay. You might be able to rob 2 or 3 graves at the most before they fall apart.

not telling anyone the mans dead is weird but leaving the body in his clothes and in the bed rather than burying him is just ridiculous.
