So it was a crypt. - This is one odd story found on All Headline News™: Man's Body Lies Undisturbed for 20 Years.
It's out of Japan where a man disappeared twenty years ago after divorcing his wife and running into financial troubles.
Turns out he went and took up residence in an empty apartment building that he helped build. There were no other tenets. In fact he didn't rent the room. The company that constructed the place went out of business after finishing the apartment and it was never rented out after that.
The AP story reports:
The decomposed body of a man dressed in pajamas was discovered in an abandoned Tokyo apartment building 20 years after he is believed to have died, police said Thursday.
A Tokyo Metropolitan Police official said construction workers were preparing to tear down the building earlier this month when they found the man's skeletal remains laying face-up on a mattress on the tatami reed mat floor of a second-floor room.
Doesn't look like there was any foul play involved.
