Body found in home a year after death Sat Feb 17, 12:29 PM ET

The partially mummified body of a man dead for more than a year has been found in a chair in front of his television, which was still on, authorities said.
Vincenzo Ricardo, 70, apparently died of natural causes, said Dr. Stuart Dawson, Suffolk County's deputy chief medical examiner.
Police found Ricardo's body this week when they investigated a report of burst pipes.
The home's dry air had preserved his features, morgue assistant Jeff Bacchus said.
"You could see his face. He still had hair on his head," Bacchus said.
Ricardo's wife died years ago, and he lived alone, Dawson said.
"He hasn't been heard from in over a year. That's the part that baffles me," he said. "Nobody sounded the alarm."
Neighbors said they had thought Ricardo was in a hospital or nursing home.
"We never thought to check on him," said neighbor Diane Devon.

how come the power company didn't shut his electricity (and thus the tv) off after he didn't pay the bill for a year?
