…I want to know how he managed to have his electricity stay on for 13 months without paying the bill.
Confirmation that a Hampton Bays man had been dead for 13 months, seated in front of a TV set that was still on, came from dates on prescription medications and expiration dates on milk and egg cartons, police said Monday.
Investigators expect by week’s end to have an official cause of death for Vincenzo Riccardi, 70, whose mummified body was found in his secluded home Thursday after he had been dead for more than a year, police said.

I was wondering that same thing! I’m guessing that he’s renting and it comes with utilities, or else he has a bill-paying service that just draws against a bank account and automatically pays all his bills. Must be nice. 🙂
Well he was a lucky SOB. Except for the dying part.
Yeah, I agree, Wyrd. Mind you, dying can ruin your whole day…
The craziest thing is that he voted for Saxton.
What about the smell? I would have thought someone would have smelled something in the last year. And what about his mail? Was it not piling up someplace…? His house, post office? Sad that someone can die and no one notices.. no friends… no family…
He didn’t smell because the low humidity in the room mummified him.
I’m guessing the mail either went to a service, or maybe he had one of those setups where the mail went through the door slot.
There do seem to be interesting unresolved questions about this case.
HAHAHA…priceless, Jack.
