And when she woke up, she was dead.

Her mother was dead that is.

A 46-year old woman in Tokyo found her mother dead one morning. In that they were living on the old woman's pension, the daughter covered her mother up with towels on a futon and left her there….for four years.

In the meantime, the daughter kept collecting the pension, 1.6 million ($13Kish).

"Mom! Do you want some more rice? Oh, never mind. You are dead."

"Mom! Do you want to take a bath first? Oh, never mind. You are dead."

"Mom! How come you never answer me when I tell

you I am going out or coming home? Oh, never mind. You are dead."

And if the smell doesn't get you…well, you can make money off of dead people.
