Where's Dad? Gay NY Man's Shocking Find

(New York City) When Paul Iversen came out almost a decade ago he became estranged from his Brooklyn family, but now, with the holidays coming on and his family advancing in years he felt it was time to try to reconcile with his father.

Iversen knocked on his parents apartment door Tuesday and asked his mother if he could see his father.

The 73 year old woman opened the door, the New York Daily News reports, and told him his father was in the bedroom. There he found the skeletal remains of the father, under the covers in bed, lying in a fetal position.

The son persuaded the elderly woman to call police.

The Daily News reports that the woman told investigators that Frank Iversen, 75, had died of natural causes three years ago.  She did not report the death because she wanted to continue collecting his Social Security benefits.

The paper quotes unnamed police sources as saying the woman told investigators that she and her husband had made a pact that if one of them died the other would hide the body to continue collecting the benefits.

Neighbors told the Daily News that they had noticed foul odors coming from the apartment for more than a year but did not think to notify police.

The paper said that Frank Iversen had not been to a doctor for decades.  An autopsy will be performed by the medical examiners office to determine an exact cause of death, but that could prove difficult or impossible because of the condition of the body.

Joanne Iversen allowed herself to be checked into Bellevue Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation

Just more evidence that "Dinosaurs" did it right!  When they're age 70. chuck em over the edge of a cliff!  So many problems are avoided that way...

The mind boggles at how the hell they thought that was a good idea.

[Aridas]

I'm not sure what the "psychiactric evaluation" is for, but it can't mean much.

You're one to talk.

I like the 'sending off into the sunset on a small iceburg' idea...

No.

That's what, the third or fourth time now?

[xHaZxMaTx]

No, don't start that again, Aridas.  You have a problem, you PM.  Same goes for Slavkei.

Ack, no! We have a minimod in da house!

[Nikki]

T3T scary...oh-so-scary...

[Hilary]

Dangit. I wish someone could've gotten a camera in there before they moved the remains. That would have made a really cool picture, a half-decayed body curled up in bed...

[Alondro]

*watches Hilary's ranking on the FBI's watch list jump up suddenly* Huh, so wanting to see decayed human remains has THAT kind of effect?  Glad I found out before I mentioned my enjoyment of such things, and my HUGE archive of body pictures... uh-oh... did I just think that or write it?

*Charles' ranking shoots through the roof*

Dag-nabbit!   

[Gornemant]

well, we can say that she didn't do a good job at hiding the body 

now remember kids, if you smell something nasty, it might be more than one you think, so don't keep it to yourself 

[Hilary]

Kid #1: Tommy farted!
Tommy: Nuh-uh, that's just my granddad decomposing in the basement.
Kid #1: Ohhh.

[Jim Halisstrad]

And we have a winner!

[GabrielsThoughts]

hmm. this sounds strangely like an urban leagend...and based off an old episode of CSI Weekends no less.

Much like that incident with the Kidney which made national headlines, was based off an episode NYPD Blue.

and alot like that woman that mistook biscit batter for her brains.

and the thing where they had needles with the hiv viris infecting people at a shell station.

[Boog]

... That's actually rather ingenious. Disturbing, yes, but clever. She shoulda put the body in formaldihyde though. Preserving the body would prevent it from stinking. Anyone asks, you're thinking of a career in taxidermy. And thus my FBI rank wossname skyrockets.

Also, I must add that the pyramid head avy is quite thoroughly awesome.

[Zedd]

Holy holy holy...Crap!
