Here’s yet another reason to hang yourself before your body falls apart completely: “Paramedics in Vienna had a shock when they answered a call – and found a man ‘eaten alive’ by maggots. Ambulance crew were called out yesterday (Tues) after a woman rang to say her elderly partner was having breathing difficulties. But when they turned up they found the man’s corpse covered in maggots… [T]he man had been bedridden and partially paralysed after a stroke some years ago. Hahslinger added the Astrid Sch. told doctors the man had refused to be washed by the her for some time. He stressed: ‘Doctors found his back literally eaten up by maggots.’” —Bedridden man ‘eaten by maggots’ | Austrian Times
