Thursday May 10 03:39 PM EDT Dead Man Goes Unnoticed for 4 Years By ABCNEWS.com A New homeowner in Chicago found a surprise: the body of the previous owner, sitting in a rocking chair. Neighbors had long assumed the lonely old man moved from his Chicago home years ago. Mail piled up. Utilities were shut off. Grass grew. Paint peeled. The house was sold at a tax auction on Tuesday, and the new owners found him when they entered. He was sitting in a rocking chair, dead. Apparently, he had died in the chair and remained there for at least four years. "We are not uncaring neighbors over here on the northwest side of Chicago, I can tell you that, but we do mind our own business," explained neighbor Perry Grimaldi. "I do know my local neighbors, and when I think about this it kind of makes me sad." They Don't Even Remember His Name The man was such a loner that police can't find anyone who even remembers his name so they can identify the skeletal remains. Investigators said they found mail at the brick bungalow on North Central Ave. dating back to 1997. But at least one neighbor says she knows why no one remembers the man. "They were very, very unfriendly people," neighbor Marion Mizowski told The Associated Press of the man and his wife. "They wouldn't talk to anyone." She said they wouldn't even respond to simple greetings. Unfriendly... Or Just Sick? But while some neighbors said he was unfriendly, others noted he was just old and suffering from Parkinson's disease (news - web sites) - and kept to himself. Janina Kolosowski said she noticed something was wrong because nobody took care of the yard. "I told my neighbor, I said 'call the police,'" said Kolosowski. "Maybe he was living in the garage or somewhere. But nobody wanted to bother because, you know, the law." Police say they are investigating the death. The postal service is working with police to identify the man. "I didn't think for the life of me that there was somebody who had been long dead in there because it's kind of really sad," lamented neighbor Grimaldi.
