The only things I like to hoard are sick days, but if I was a member of the Dallas Police Department or search and rescue team, I would have gladly relinquished one or two of them to stay off of this case.
According to WFAA, a 67-year-old man was found dead yesterday in his Dallas home, but only after rescuers cut holes in his roof and used search dogs to get around debris that was stacked as high as 12 feet in some places.
The search for the man began on Tuesday, and there was so much debris built up that neither authorities nor search dogs could find the man until just before noon on Thursday. Even when the man’s body was located, it still took rescuers almost five hours to remove it from the house.
According to Joel Lavender of Dallas Fire-Rescue, the trash was piled so high in some places that it reached the ceiling. His crews had to dig through the garbage in an effort to find the missing man and along the way found a “dead raccoon and two dead dogs” as well as “gallon milk jugs of urine because the bathroom was too full of trash to be used.”
Well then. I guess the next time somebody asks you if you’ve ever seen or heard about anything as gross as Louie Anderson, the answer is “yes.”
