“EVANSTON, Ill. - A 90-year-old woman well-liked by her neighbors apparently has been living in a house with the bodies of three siblings, one of whom may have been dead since the early 1980s, police say.”

I had to read this twice, not only because I couldn’t grasp the fact that the woman had been living with the dead for so long, but because the Associated Press are the biggest bunch of idiots I have ever known!

The dispute wound up in court Sunday, when the family asked a federal judge to block the hospital from doing any further tests for brain activity. The hospital responded by asking a District of Columbia Superior Court judge for permission to discontinue treatment.”
