Death, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
A man, Huang in the city of Hsinchu had died for many days in is own home, and the corpse already started decomposing, his cohabiting partner, Huang was suspected of being mentally ill, accompanied the corpse for days on end, without detecting, that he’s already, dead; yesterday, the neighbors smelled the wreak from the corpse, and called the police, and as the police came, Huang still believed that Huang was still alive, kept insisting “he’s asleep, don’t wake him.”
The place this happened was close to where the Mayor of the City of Taipei, Wen-Je Ke’s mother lived, it’d caused discussions. The police said, that as Huang was found, he was lying in bed, with the quilt covering up his body, only showing his head and feet, the body was black, with NO visible external injuries, they’d believed he’d died of natural causes, and he’d been dead over two weeks.
The police found, that the deceased was found in an old rental suite, that belonged to Huang’s family. As the police arrived, Huang couldn’t identify herself or the deceased, just kept muttering, “he’s asleep, leave him alone”; and after checking, both were still unwed, but lived under the same roof.
The neighbors close by told, that the foreign hired helper started complaining that “There’s a smell” since a few days ago, but they’d not known where the smell came from.
Huang’s mother stated, that she’d cohabited with the deceased for years on end, that the property was provided to the both of them to live, that she’d delivered the foods to her daughter, that they didn’t have any economical troubles; Huang because of a mental condition, her cohabiting partner would take her to the hospital normally, “So long as she remembered to take her medicines, she’d acted normal”.
The police believed that Huang had died of natural causes, but to be sure, they’d asked the coroners to conduct an autopsy just to be sure; Huang’s family told, that she’s no longer fitted to live alone on her own, that they will take her home to live now.
And so, this man had, died of natural causes, it seems, but, this woman with whom he was living with wasn’t capable of doing things on her own, she’d relied on him to help her live, and, she’d accompanied his body after he’d died, not knowing what to do…
