Well reading this has prompted me to tidy up, at least the people downstairs will know if I am dead or not.
Sharon-Do not blame yourself at all, if you had checked on him every few days he would have probably told you to get lost.I do agree with you though it is a real shame that nobody missed him, it made me realise that I have absolutley no idea who my neughbors are or even what they look like.There was a case in the UK a couple of years ago were a man had been dead in his flat for 3 weeks, and his dog had eaten part of his body.john
