Three bodies were found recently.
Two were found in Italy just one day before this year's Valentine's Day. They have been literally 'in each other's arms' for 5,000 years and still are -- the people made sure they would not be parted when being removed from the earth.
擁抱五千年,義大利雙人骸骨於情人節前夕出土 (路透社) 02月 14日 星期三 12:31AM
路透羅馬電---埋葬於5,000多年以前，並互相擁抱的一對伴侶，周二出土時仍緊緊相擁。而周三便是情人節。
為求保存這擁抱姿勢，科學家並未選擇一塊塊取出頦骨。
One was found in New York the very first day of the Year of Pig. When the 70-year-old widower was found, he had been dead but seated in front of a blaring TV for more than a year. And nobody even knew. Nobody knew, probably because since his wife's death, his TV set had been his only companion, the only person he could scold, laugh at and share his emotions with. Saddest story I have read recently.
NEW YORK (Reuters) 18 February 07 -- Police called to a Long Island man's house discovered the mummified remains of the resident, dead for more than a year, sitting in front of a blaring television set.
The 70-year-old Hampton Bays, New York, resident, identified as Vincenzo Ricardo, appeared to have died of natural causes. Police said on Saturday his body was discovered on Thursdaywhen they went to the house to investigate a report of a burst water pipe.
