Canadians live longer on paper

http://www.freedominion.ca/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=299850

Residents of a River Heights condominium complex were in shock yesterday
after police recovered the remains of a neighbour dead for two years. "We
thought he had gone away for holidays or something," said Bertha Claeys who
lived across the hall from the man.

Claeys and other neighbours at the 870 Cambridge South condominium
identified the man as Jim, a resident in the building since the mid-1980s.

Claeys said the man was in his late 40s or early 50s, suffered from multiple
sclerosis and had been living on a disability pension.

Claeys said she believed city police were called to the man's second-floor
apartment after a report of irregularities with his finances.

Police found the man's remains on his bed, reduced to only bones, said
neighbour Sam Shuster.

Shuster described Jim as a friendly man, but a loner.
