A Texas woman, 45, has been committed for mental evaluation after living in an apartment in Big Sandy for at least a week with her dead boyfriend’s body.
Police were flagged down last Friday by a man who stated that there was a stench coming from his sister’s apartment.
When police entered the apartment they found 50 year old William Drake dead on a couch. He appeared to have been dead at least a week. The woman apparently didn’t want to leave the apartment.
Burr said Drake died of natural causes and had recently stopped his dialysis treatments. He said Drake had lived for 10 years with the woman, who had been hospitalized for mental illness before. Burr declined to reveal her name.

Neighbors of Renjis Empati, 57, of Borneo are very thankful, and some might say relieved, that he heeded natures call.
When Renjis walked outside to use his toilet he noticed that his kitchen was in the process of being swallowed by a sinkhole. He immediately called out to his neighbors and saved them just in the nick of time.
Said a grateful neighbor: “If it were not for him, most of us would be dead by now.” Approximately 100 neighbors were saved by Renjis Empati’s call to get out of their homes.

This weeks theme is Wooden
This is an unusual tree house.
It’s actually only a few blocks from where we live here in Toronto. It’s south of the Danforth.
Why someone would build a tree house in what looks like a dead try I have no idea. If my memory serves me correctly I do think it was the only big tree in that houses backyard so perhaps that’s why the tree house is there.
If I were a kid I’m not sure I’d like this tree house as much as if it were build in a live tree where my secret fort could be hidden from view.
