Couldn’t bear to bury his dead-for-two-years mother!

A German dude lost his 92 year old mother to natural causes back in 2005. She died in her favorite arm chair. So what happens? The guy gets the death certificate but never registered her actual death and let her sit in her favorite arm chair to rot, never to enter the room she was in ever again. After two years his neighbors called to report the corpse which in turn brought charges against the guy for “violating German burial law.” What? Did this guy live with the nasty-ass rotting smell? Was he afraid that if he lifted her from her chair she’d smack him? The neighbors obviously knew about it… how is that okay? Two years later, I can only imagine that the poor woman’s remains are literally “one with the chair.”
