Wow! This is disgusting, and it’s no surprise that it’s from Florida. According to reports, a Florida woman is expected to pay for damages to her apartment after her dead neighbor, who’s body was left undiscovered for over two weeks. Hit the jump for the full story. Beware, it’s graphic.
Via Gawker:
The deceased elderly woman, who apparently passed away from natural causes, lived alone with her dogs. After she died, her body went undiscovered for two weeks before a noxious odor began to fill the adjacent units.
After complaints from neighbors, maintenance workers entered the apartment and found that the dogs had eaten her remains, according to Courthouse News.
The undiscovered body went through its normal decaying process and eventually bloated to the point that the gasses inside the corpse built enough pressure that it caused its abdomen to burst. This released gases and fluids, which is what leaked down into Rodrigo’s apartment.
It wasn’t until six years later that Judy Rodrigo, the tenant under the dead woman’s apartment, looked for a reimbursement from her insurance agency. However, they told her that she is not covered for that type of explosion. Upon learning that, she quickly decided to sue. Unfortunately, a county court judge ruled in favor of her insurance agency, State Farm.
