robbalvey Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Some news stories really frighten me..... http://www.usatoday.com/news/offbeat/2006-01-10-unburiedwoman_x.htm MADISONVILLE, Ohio — Johannas Pope didn't want to be buried, believing that she would come back to life. Pope died at her home here at age 61 on Aug. 29, 2003. A towel had been placed around her neck to keep her cool on that 87-degree summer day. She wore a white gown while sitting in a chair in an upstairs room, in front of a television that played as family members went about their lives downstairs. She remained there, according to her wishes, for almost 2½ years. "Don't show my body when I'm dead," Hamilton County's coroner, Dr. O'dell Owens, said Monday when explaining Pope's wishes. "Don't bury me. I'm coming back."
Louise Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Something tells me that that SHOULD be illegal, like it's so wrong it can't possibly legal.
robbalvey Posted January 31, 2006 Author Posted January 31, 2006 I really wanted to know what she was watching!
buttonman700 Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Umm, Okay, you know what? NO! This is sick and wrong in so many ways...
Nrthwnd Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 I really wanted to know what she was watching! I'll bite. Maybe Dead, Like me or some cable thing like Six Feet Under.
Chrissie Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 WTF?? I dont think I could carry on with my normal life while my dead relative was sitting upstairs!
Hattuchili Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 OMG, the smell must be unbelievable! --Sören
Carnage Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 That's just disgusting. How could they live like that?
coasterzak Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 I just love living in Ohio. We always get the best publicity. And to think, I could smell that all the way in Akron! In all seriousness... who could possibly keep a body like that in their house? The smell, the bugs, the... rotting? That's just disgusting.
Tömmioh Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 ^Yeah, true. Maybe she just didn't want to miss a single episode of "the days of our lives" or something like that. (sorry, bad joke). It still sounds really weird though.
BorisTF Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 wow, that's just wrong yet reminds me of a joke about a plane crash...
dandaman Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 On the Tonight Show last week: "...and a woman has been sitting dead in her chair, in front of the TV for 2 1/2 YEARS! The coroner couldn't move the body for another 15 minutes, though, because Wheel of Fortune was on..."
Angry_Gumball Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Wow...that is just plain sick and weird. I'm sure there had to be quite an odor standing outside of the house as well as inside. How can people do something like this? Personally, I wouldn't even stay in that house while having a dead body 'sleeping over' for 2 years.
disneygurlz2s Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Ha ha .....and guess what? This happened in my mom's (my childhood) neighborhood!!! Shari "So proud our community made the national news" Shoufler
AznShortBoi8021 Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 That is just sick and disgusting! The smell must be horrible. I can't imagine continuing my life knowing I have a dead relative in my house. Those people must be insane.
XII Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 OMG! How the hell can that family live like that with a dead person in their house for 2 YEARS!
