Man found after 7 years dead in bed
May 15, 2007 by Walter Schneider.
Decomposed body of man found after nearly seven years. No one missed him!
FYI:
German man found after 7 years dead in bed
Fri May 11, 2007 8:30AM EDTSource:
http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSL1071991520070511BERLIN (Reuters) - The decomposed corpse of a German man was found alone in his bed after nearly seven years, police in the western city of Essen said Thursday.
The police said in a statement the man was 59 and unemployed at the time of his death. He most likely died of natural causes on November 30, 2000, the date he received a letter from the Welfare Office found in the apartment, police said. [How did the police know that he died on exactly that day? – WHS]
Next to the dead man’s bed police found cigarettes, an open television guide and Deutschemark coins, which came out of circulation after the euro was introduced in 2002.
The man’s apartment was in a building with offices and apartments, many of which are now empty.
“No one missed him. No missing person report was ever filed,” the police said.

Recalling that over the years I had a few times read stories like that, I got curious and checked for how often something like that is mentioned and as to the proportions of the sexes in meeting that sort of fate. Here are the search results:
google.com (web) for
- found decomposed corpse OR body woman - 469,000 entries on search-return list
found decomposed corpse OR body man - 782,000 entries on search-return list - found decomposed corpse OR body woman “No missing person report was ever filed” - 263 entries on search-return list
found decomposed corpse OR body man “No missing person report was ever filed” - 581 entries on search-return list - found decomposed corpse OR body woman “No one missed her” - 0 entries on search-return list
found decomposed corpse OR body man “No one missed him” - 527 entries on search-return list
news.google.com for
- found decomposed corpse OR body woman - 130 entries on search-return list
found decomposed corpse OR body man - 272 entries on search-return list - found decomposed corpse OR body woman “No missing person report was ever filed” - 0 entries on search-return list
found decomposed corpse OR body man “No missing person report was ever filed” - 4 entries on search-return list - found decomposed corpse OR body woman “No one missed her” - 0 entries on search-return list
found decomposed corpse OR body man “No one missed him” - 4 entries on search-return list
The search returns on the last four searches all relate to the same man (not even named - that means he is truly forgotten) in Essen, Germany. One of the entries is worth reading. The questions it raised for me are:
- What are the chances that women will be more likely than they are now to be forgotten like that, just like a man? One would expect that as equality inexorably progresses for women, equal likelihood to be forgotten would be a true measure of equality, just as equal risks for men and women to become job fatalities (women comprise one out of every 20 job fatalities) or to have equal life expectancies (women in the whole world live on average five more years than men do) would be a measure of true equality.
- Are lesbians or single women as likely as homosexual men or single fathers to be become forgotten, not to be missed, and to be found only a long time after their demise? I strongly suspect that will not happen for as long as the Pope is Catholic.
Anyway, you may wish to find out how GrrlScientist and her friends feel about her fears that the same fate as that of the man in Essen may be in store for her. One of the entries on that blog is so callous that it borders on being humorous.
I am confused as to why such a post-mortem fate is to be feared.
After death, what did this man care that he was undiscovered?
I agree, though, that his life before Nov 30 2000 was probably not very enjoyable. But perhaps he preferred solitude?
That reminds me of a joke:
A beggar walked up to a well-dressed woman shopping on Rodeo Drive and said, “I haven’t eaten anything for days.” She looked at him and said, “God, I wish I had your willpower.”

Legal Recognition of chosen “gender”
May 14, 2007 by Walter Schneider.
Jussi Wikström wrote:
Hi Walter,
What do you think of the fact that Elizabeth the Second, By the Grace of God of Canada and Her other Territories Queen, Head of Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, has given Royal Assent to the Gender Recognition Act in the UK?
Excerpt from the Gender Recognition Act:
(1) Where a full gender recognition certificate is issued to a person, the person’s gender becomes for all purposes the acquired gender (so that, if the acquired gender is the male gender, the person’s sex becomes that of a man and, if it is the female gender, the person’s sex becomes that of a woman).
Let me know what you think,
Jussi
Hello Jussi,
Why do you wish to know what I think? What I think is immaterial in the matter of concern to you. Moreover, the very few people who seek recognition of their chosen sex will hardly make a difference in what is happening to our society.
The systematic deconstruction of the traditional nuclear family is an established fact and will hardly be accelerated through pro-transgender-, pro-gender reassignment-legislation or legislation of any other sort that is or is potentially harmful to established and now ostensibly antiquated social, cultural or moral traditions and norms. Transgender activism merely exploits an opening made for it.
Regardless of how far gender-reassignment goes, no one can change the genes of an individual wanting to be something he is not, male or female. Theater, role-playing and sex-change operations do not in truth change anyone’s sex, Queen’s assent or not. However, we all must live within the law, regardless of how ludicrous many of our laws have become. None of us any longer have the right of the innocent to declare “The emperor wears no clothes.”
We don’t have to worry about the consequences of the new transgender legislation. Provided we are permitted to fade away in peace, in at the most four generations not enough Caucasians will be left to matter or to form a nation of their own, let alone maintain the western Christian cultural heritage. It is doubtful that anyone will be left then who will be willing or able to issue a full gender recognition certificate to anyone; and no one will care to have one of those.
Who falls asleep in a democracy will wake up in a dictatorship. – Otto Gritschneder
History repeats itself. Democracy always decays into totalitarianism and ultimately into chaos. I’ll leave you with two more relevant quotes:
It is a characteristic of any decaying civilization that the great masses of the people are unaware of the tragedy. Humanity in a crisis is generally insensitive to the gravity of the times in which it lives. Men do not want to believe their own times are wicked, partly because they have no standard outside of themselves by which to measure their times. If there is no fixed concept of justice, how shall men know it is violated? Only those who live by faith really know what is happening in the world; the great masses without faith are unconscious of the destructive processes going on, because they have lost the vision of the heights from which they have fallen.
Attributed to Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
A society that puts equality—in the sense of equality of outcome—ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality nor freedom. The use of force to achieve equality will destroy freedom, and the force, introduced for good purposes, will end up in the hands of people who use it to promote their own interests.
