..."unobservant."

A Pensioner who lived in a caravan unaware that his brother lay DEAD in the next room for 18 months said yesterday: "I'm not his keeper."

Bert Silver suspected there was something wrong with his elder brother George but did not check on him as he was not at his "beck and call". Instead, he spent the next year-and-a-half living in the mobile home and watching Sky TV, unaware his brother's corpse was decomposing in his bedroom just feet away.

The article goes on to say that Bert had a hearing problem. Ok, so maybe he didn't hear cries for help. But, did his NOSE not work??? Doesn't a body that has been decomposing for 18 frickin' months smell AWFUL?????
