Early Playboy Playmate Yvette Vickers Found Dead

She's been dead for over a year? Mail piling up in her mailbox and the postal worker does not notice? Her neighbors just now notice? The scary part is the space heater was still running. Who paid PG&E??? This is very sad.

It took the neighbor a year to realize mail was piling up, really!?! That is crazy.

When I was two weeks late paying my power bill recently, after 10 years never late, they were threatening to shut me off!

Direct deposit for retirement/401k/Social security; autopay for regularly occurring bills, and a reclusive habit?

Yeah, sad, but I could see it. If your neighbors can't see your door? Our postman would notice, but that's because our mailbox is on the front of the house. If I asked him to toss it through the slot in the front door, he would never know.

How about the USPS (not) realizing that the mail was piling up?

Maybe she had one of those in-the-door mail slots.

Nope (at least according to the LA Times article linked):

Quote:

Susan Savage, an actress, went to check on Vickers after noticing old letters and cobwebs in her elderly neighbor's mailbox.

People flee Italy for fear of Earthquake predicted years ago.

Quote:

Bendandi is said to have predicted several earthquakes which hit Italy during the last hundred years before his death in 1979 and the panic on Wednesday was fanned by Facebook, Twitter and text messages.

I really hope a good portion of them headed for Spain.
