    Body lay under sofa for 10 years in shared Bristol flat



    A body lay undiscovered under a sofa in a sheltered flat in Bristol for nearly 10 years, an inquest has heard. The dead man, Denis Pring, 73, had been living with city council tenant Alan Derrick, who has learning difficulties.
    The inquest heard Mr Derrick did not want to tell the authorities that Mr Pring had died because he was worried he would be evicted.

    Most people just leave a pizza or the like!

    Sad though..

    It'd be worse if you found cat toys and didn't even remember having a cat.

    :P

    ****, I've just found the dog and the cat under the other sofa! Looks like the dog choked on the cat's fur. I was wondering what the smell was. My 14 year-old son usually sits on that one. We thought it was him.
