maybe a mummy marathon captivated him

Another mummy found watching TV: "David Pescovitz:
Vincenzo Ricardo, 70, of Long Island, was found dead and 'mummified' in front of his TV. Apparently he had passed away more than a year ago. Ricardo should not be confused with Johannas Pope who was discovered in a similar situation almost a year ago exactly. From the Associated Press:

'You could see his face. He still had hair on his head,' Newsday quoted morgue assistant Jeff Bacchus as saying. The home's low humidity had preserved the body.



Officials could not explain why the electricity had not been turned off, considering Ricardo had not been heard from since December 2005.
