    Dead body found in caravan after 18 months. Brother was living in the caravan also. Weird story.
    Bert said last night that he could not explain why it took him so long to discover his brother's body but he added: "I'm not at his beck and call.

    There must have been a smell in the caravan. There is no way a decaying body will not smell.

    He was 72, maybe there was something wrong with his sense of smell. Although 18 months? I know people who will lock themselves in their rooms for days but not a year and a half.

    it's very similar to the story of that elderly lady who died and her brother and sister never noticed. How can you go 18 months without talking, but I suppose old people who've lived together all their lives, can act very funny

    "There was no smell or anything that came from his room. In the end I plucked up the courage to go and have a look. He looked a bit skeletal and that is when I called the police."
    yeah right. he must have fallen out with him and thought, i'll teach that bastard, and just left him.

    proper case of denial.

    but probably not a crime, unless he did something to him.

    police have said there are no suspicious circumstances


    what??? He obviously murdered his brother and didn't have the brain power to chop him up and bury him. Maybe he has Alzheimers.

    There have been more than a few cases of an elderly person passing away in their sleep and as it's getting close to pension day, the temptation grows for the survivor to rationalise - "it's what they would have wanted" ;).
