21st century Collyer Brothers, anyone?

I've finished tagging January 2005 posts, finally... on to the next month I go! You'd think I'd have finished last week or the week before, but I had way too many obligations and stuff to do. That "eviction" thing did NOT help, either! (I just called my sister to see what was going on tomorrow night, and got NO ANSWER! UGH!)


Today's Cluttered Yet Truly Morbid Fact!

A Shelton woman who was at first reported missing was later found dead suffocated under a pile of debris in her home. Officers found the body of Marie Rose, 62, buried under clothes Thursday, January 5, 2006. Her husband reported her missing after he couldn't find her early Thursday morning. Officers found clothing, dishes, and boxes crammed from floor to ceiling in every room of the couple's house. "In some areas, clothes and debris were piled 6 feet high," said Police Chief Terry Davenport of the Shelton Police Department. "Officers were having to climb over the top on their hands and knees. In some areas, their heads were touching the ceiling while they were standing on top of piles of debris."

After 10 hours of searching, officers discovered the woman's body. On Friday, investigators said she was smothered under the clutter. Fire and city code inspectors have released the home back the family after an inspection.

Of course I'm going to keep this handy for certain people who like to call me a pack rat. See, it could be worse!

Morbid Link Du Jour!

The Honest Poet writes to tell me about his / her new website:

"Blood, Guts, and Gore concerns itself with the blood / gore / extreme violence / disturbing images rampant in horror and sci-fi fare. It tells readers exactly where their favorite gore scenes are in almost 300 films and gives them a fearlessly detailed recap of the sequence and a rating from one blood drop to five and a special rating: off the scale. These are then tallied and divided by 5 for the AR (Average Rating) which quantifies the gore factor from one drop (dry) to ten (blood-soaked) and a special rating: naturally, off the scale - these are pictures that are for the truly sick, loaded with guts and gore and quite gruesome."

Sounds like the ideal site for cinematic goremongers the world over!
