A Spanish bank repossessed a house and put it up for auction complete with the mummified body of the former owner who had missed her mortgage payments.
The corpse, preserved by salty air in the seaside town of Roses after an apparent death by natural causes, was discovered by Jorge Giro, who entered the house for the first time on Saturday after buying it at the auction.
The dead woman, described by neighbors as having been in poor health and often absent visiting relatives in Madrid, had stopped paying her mortgage six years ago.
The unnamed bank which eventually repossessed the home never bothered to look inside before selling it.
Now, we know why she missed her payments, anyway.

Is it me or are there more and more of these dead people in their homes for years before anyone notices there not around?
There was the guy a few months ago that was found in his apartment, dead for 3 years and all the utilities were still going and he was sitting in front of the t.v.. 3 years and the utilities were still going, christ, if I miss one payment my power is gone before I can wink.
