“She died in late September. She wasn’t well before that and I asked her if she wanted to go to hospital but she said she didn’t need to go.”

That's what a Fukuoka City man told police as they arrested him for illegal corpse abandonment. Police found Tatsuya Hirade's wife laying in bed, dead, where she laid untouched for about a month. No cause of death is known.

So what happened is the lady died, and Hirade went about his buisness, leaving her there. No police or ambulance was called when she died. There may be ties to domestic violence, though nothing has been determined yet.

Violence or not, who leaves a dead body in their house for that long? Yikes.
