Death and taxes
Unlike the mythical panty story, this actually happened in the San Gabriel Valley. Whittier Daily News reporter Ruby Gonzales has the scoop on a guy who died around April 15. Apparently the county tax collector was looking for him but the grim reaper got there first:
A man apparently died three months ago but his body was discovered Tuesday afternoon after a county worker came knocking.
Guy King, 65, was found on his couch next to a paper bag with a carton of milk and some yogurt that expired on April 18, said Whittier Police spokesman Jason Zuhlke.
He said King apparently kept to himself and his family lives out of state. A neighbor last saw King two months ago.
The grisly discovery was made Tuesday afternoon in the 10800 block of Kibbee Avenue by a county employee and a neighbor.
Zuhlke didn't know what county department the worker was from and why he was at King's home.
However, records show the bank had a lien on the house.
