Smelly

At my hairdresser's last week, I was talking to his assistant.  Somehow the topic went to older people. She started talking about this awful smell that was noticed on the same floor as her apartment.  It forced the residents to call 911, the emergency number so they could check on that apartment.  It seems the old lady who lived inside had passed away for about 5 days before the smell was noticed.  She was wheelchair bound, extremely overweight and lived with a number of cats.  She had fallen in the bathtub.  The awful thing is she had no one to check on her.  People would avoid her apartment because it was filthy and smelly with all the cats and never cleaned.  The cats managed to survive all those days without food.
