**Warning** This May Disturb You-- Not Gossip ** Warning**
Now that I know you have all read the warning at the top, you probably are even more anxious to discover what is so disturbing. I just got done reading this Daily Mail article about a guy in the UK who made a suicide pact with his wife. He made her go first and so she dutifully climbed up on a ladder, and hung herself from the doorway in an upstairs bedroom. Apparently after seeing her do it, the guy got nervous and decided he couldn't do it.
So, he left her hanging there. Umm, that was 8 weeks ago. He finally called the cops yesterday and told them the story. I don't care what his story is or if he is telling the truth about the whole thing. I have no doubt in my mind that the woman was hanging there for eight weeks and I can't even begin to imagine what kind of person would be able to walk by a dead body multiple times daily while it was just hanging there.
According to the neighbors this is a guy who never talked to his neighbors and barely even said hi for ten years. The only thing they knew about him is that he would polish his car outside every day. Every neighbor knew that about him. The funny thing is most of the neighbors didn't even know a woman lived in the house. Ten years and the neighbors had never seen her. Some had, but most had not. I could understand if they had only lived there a short while, but this was ten years. There is no indication that either of the couple worked. They have no kids. I wonder how this couple even met or what their first date was like. Did he say to her, "you know, we should get married and then stay in our house for the next 20 years." How does that type of person even meet anyone, let alone date someone and marry them.
Dead Kennedy, how's your car?
ReplyDeleteMaybe they were agoraphobic?
ReplyDeleteNote to self: Never go first when executing a suicide pack.
ReplyDeletelol i see someone took my idea and ran with it.OT.
ReplyDeleteon topic...wtf???
ps.
ReplyDeleteeharmony.
Yeah, I agree, I'd like to know what kind of person could just walk by a hanging dead body for eight weeks like that.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I hope his dead wife haunts the fuck outta him.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they met online?

ReplyDeleteyou know, I always suspected Kurt and Courtney had some kind of weird suicide-pact thing going on. Thoughts?
ReplyDeleteThis is truly a WTF???? moment .. why were they gonna do it in the first place? and surely, it does teach us a lesson that men are cowardly and never ever believe them when they want to make any kind of pact where the woman has to do the nasty deed first .. you know how that will turn out .. oh no you wont, cause you'll be dead and they will still be living
ReplyDeleteYou know, I guess I'm not suicidal after all. Thanks hon!
ReplyDeleteThis post just makes me uncomfortable *shudder*.
ReplyDeleteWhy not to do suicide pacts:

To bring a lighter note to this post, from Road Trip:
ReplyDelete"That guy Jacob? He left school. He went on to become the leader of some cult in lowa. He tried organising a mass suicide. Only problem is, he drank the Kool-Aid first and, well, everyone else just kind of changed their minds. Too bad."
Brendalove, I agree, either suicide pact or murder. He was planning on divorcing her crazy ass. I don't really talk to my neighbors, very private.But they all are older and nosy. Does that make me strange? Just curious.
ReplyDelete@kimi - I don't talk to most of my neighbours either. Same thing. Nosy and gossipy. Never had this problems with my previous addresses. Oh well. And no - no suicide pact in my future. No need to alert the authorities.
ReplyDeleteFinally over the GDMF kittens and can comment again (thanks for the amens last week!)
ReplyDeleteY'all are all too funny tonight!
I agree this bloke has fishy alibi to the possible murder of his missus.

ReplyDeletefor you kimi...read and enjoy!
Thanks Jax!
ReplyDeleteEIGHT WEEKS?
ReplyDeleteum, wouldn't the body have gotten to the point of not being hanging any more (trying not to be too graphic for our more sensitive viewers)?
friendly neighbors or not, SURELY someone would have noticed a certain aroma!
ITA bionic bunny. If that body hung around for eight weeks the neighbors should have definitely been alarmed by the smell.
ReplyDeleteEight weeks? Do any of you KNOW what happens to a human body after death by hanging? I had friends whose upstairs neighbor hung themselves - after a week there was a horrid death stench and "fluid" dripping from their ceiling. You can google it to find out the particulars, but I can't imagine the mental illusion this guy had to perpetrate upon himself to live with that reality for EIGHT WEEKS. *shudder*
ReplyDeleteEight weeks?!? Try 20 years. It was recently discovered in a local suburb that an old woman had been living in her family's home with the bodies of her dead siblings collecting their social security checks. One of them may have been dead since the early 1980s...
ReplyDeleteI don't talk to my neighbors either. I'm just not sure what the point would be...I don't want to be friends with them or anything, so why would I talk to them? I wonder why people do talk to their neighbors for any reason other than to tell them to keep the noise down, or whatever. But I don't really like people, so maybe I'm weird. I AM curious though...if any of you here do talk to your neighbors, what the hell do you talk about? I'm more interested in this incomprehensible (to me) thing than I am about this dead woman, so someone please fill me in!
ReplyDeleteI talk to my neighbors. I have a dog, so that opens the door to a lot of conversations. It's helpful to know your neighbors if you leave your headlights on, or if you're in danger of getting towed - they'll give you a heads up. :) We also talk about gardening...
ReplyDeletei'm surprised by some of these posts. i know all my neighbors. some of them have become good friends, some i enjoy chit chatting with when we're both out and some i just wave to.
ReplyDeleteyou should try it, you may find you meet some really nice people.
