Ilana's tenant in South Carolina apparently died last week. Police and his family found him 10 days later-- after his bodily fluids soaked into just about every permeable surface in the house. Now the carpet has to be pulled, the walls need to be stripped and repainted, the furniture needs to be thrown out and replaced, and the kitchen laminate flooring might even need to be removed.
I wish I knew how this dude kicked the bucket to get all his people juice and death stink all over the house. In fact, all I really know about him is that the neighbors used to complain about his chronic nudity.
Anyway, Ilana tried to contact the company that she has content insurance on the place through, and they told her that they had never heard of anyone dying in a house before.
I'm sorry, but... what?!?! Do people in South Carolina generally schedule a trip when they plan on kicking the bucket?
"Hey, dad! Where are you off to?"
"Oh, I was just going to go out in the yard to die."
"Okay! Just make sure you're all the way outside when it happens!"
Also, isn't one of the leading causes of death household accidents?! HOW CAN YOU NOT HEAR OF SOMEONE DYING IN A HOUSE BEFORE???
Jesus Christ, people. Honestly.
