How could someone possibly live in and sleep in a house with a decomposing body?

Question

If u havnt figured out by now im obsessed with death and forensics... but seriously... in my searches for literature i often run across news articles where a decomposed body was found in a residence WITH another LIVING person ALSO in the house.... How in the h**l could someone sleep at night with a nasty, bloated, seeping and maggot infested body just chillin on the couch? SERIOUSLY

Answer 1

omg that sounds so sick ewww. but then those people who murdered someone in their home and just let it rot there are probably psychopaths or something. if its normal people then i dont know but anyone who lives with a rotting body is sick in the head! cz i know i couldnt do it, the look and smell is disgusting.

Answer 2

Still, it's better than a bedmate who snores.

Answer 3

This is an interesting question, you know. I've been thinking about it a lot ever since somebody asked me a question that has intrigued me exceedingly.

Let's say that you are involved in some kind of odd bus accident in the middle of the night(for example, your bus tumbles off a cliff or something symilar). Somehow, you are the only survivor. When you wake up and turn on your flashlight, you find yourself in a wrecked bus with more than forty dead bodies in the middle of nowhere. Suddenly, the battery from your flashlight dies.Outside, it is pitch black, you can't see a thing and there is also absolutely no other source of light at hand.

What would you do? Run away and face the night, risking to encounter a serial murderer\rapist, wild animals or simply fall into a pit yourself because you can't see, or stay and wait for daylight...inside,with the bodies?

I personally, didn't know what to answer, but everyone and I mean everyone else(more than 20 people varying in age and s*x) said that they would much rather go outside, even if they knew for sure that a terrorist organisation was camped somewhere in the neighborhood,

It seems that, to the most of us, our worst fear is to 'see', actually, literally 'see' death. But for some who, perhaps, are used to seeing it, something else(EG their own death) seems more terrible than this.
