He was thought to be the oldest man in Tokyo - but when officials went to congratulate Sogen Kato on his 111th birthday, they uncovered mummified skeletal remains lying in his bed.
maybe real meeting will not let us judge on each other like this, because every one has a good side in him, some people get shy to let it out,or circumstances press on it .
Lets not go into that direction people. He already said that he thinks this happened due to lack of right religion which shows what he is implying. Better ignore.
one_shot, I believe this happens only due to lack of right humane values and nothing else.
I don't believe they could have killed him as that would defy whole purpose of their concealing his death as they were after his money. But we never know...
No idea edifis/rishi, may be the place was too cold....but whether mummification was natural or induced, the family members were as heartless and one could possibly be.
one_shot, for me it is a sad news where an old man was lying dead for 30 years in his bed while his family members were happily using his pension fund. This is a story of greed and lack of humane feelings.
mummification is something which can be done on a corpse with the help of easily available materials like salt, oil and plaster bandage etc. there is a particular method of mummyfying by removing the organs from the body and wrapping with body with these materials..
it is to be seen that who had access to kato's pension account or who was his nominee in the account. certainly its cheating and the law should prevail.
I have heard of a similar case before as well,that had to do with a guy living with the remains of his late mother who passed away a couple of years before.

please don't judge on others while you can't bear yourself.
behaviour? Grow up one shot and start treating others like you want to be treated.

hey stupid, read my last comment, i already explained why i was laughing, it wasn't religious comment

and please ex.ex.ex.but don't put oil on fire
what i meant is if they want to lie, don't use such a kind of lies.
i still beleive that they killed him ;)
to earn the money.

I was thinking along the same lines edifis.
It is Lying Buddha!
I Would like to see his reaction though, if some one intentionally misspells his prophet's name again and again. That wouldn't be funny, I guess!
of which he has an abundance of each.
One shot you are still saying it wrong, can you refrain from using Buddha's name if you can't use it properly.
And despite you adding hahaha it's not funny.
Thanks for the article edifis....hope that guy has been laid to rest now Or is he still lying preserved somewhere?
Drmana/Britex
Here is a beautifully written article by David Roberts about the Otzal shephard man.

I belive in this case it is just a terminology ... Not meant to mean actual mummification..
For example : http://english.pravda.ru/hotspots/crimes/86733-0/

dramna
maybe the whole story didn't reveal yet
you could discover that they killed him ;)
i agree with u that it is sad story, but do u expect from people who worship money?
by the way "money worshipers" are increasing day by day
after a time you will not post similar story because worse will be posted.
this is what happen when lack of right religion, right education ,right family manners.
Drmana I know that happens. There are fine examples like Otzi- Preserved by Alpine glaciers at the Otzal.
Tollund man etc.
It can happen by Ice, salt, Bitumen etc.
But how on earth natural mummification can happen in ones bed room!
drmana, this is not a case of natural mummyfication..
i can understand..at sub-zero or above about seventy or eighty dedrees celcius, the bacteria starts to go back into the cyst form..
edifis / Rishi, natural mummification does occur in conditions such as extreme cold and extreme dry hot conditions( no presence of any moisture).
one_shot, for me it is a sad news where an old man was lying dead for 30 years in his bed while his family members were happily using his pension fund. This is a story of greed and lack of humane feelings.
or what left of him hehehe
i think he is not anymore the oldest man in japan
or isn't he?
hmmmmmm
ok living boddha
hehehe--->(nice lie)
dramna, why it is sad news?
it is not ---> read more news ;)
Natural causes!!!How is that?
brit,
natural causes ?? like what??
I think in this case the body became mummified due to natural causes....

Sadly, greed often overcomes compassion and morality.

The worst thing is that his family knew about all this,yet didn't do anything about it.
Easy money.. People will do anything for money..
How could they possibly live with a dead body in the house.. for 30 years.. and nobody noticed...
What people do for money & fame.. And the words of his granddaughter.. "doesn't want to see anybody". sheeeesh..damn right he doesn't!
one_shot, I think its rather a sad news. Nothing to laugh about.
It is Buddha not Bodha.
Living Bodha
hehehe
Anything for love...
Oh no !! the people have become quite unpredictable these days..
