New Homeowner Gets More Than He Bargained For

Ask anybody who has purchased a new home about moving in, and they’ll invariably tell you that the previous owners are notorious for leaving stuff behind—old furniture, bags of garbage, a dead body.

Wait, what?

A Florida man who bought a foreclosed home found a gruesome discovery during an inspection of the home’s garage.  Police believe the man may have found the corpse of the home’s previous owner, who apparently hasn’t been seen or heard from in a while.

The Brevard County Sheriff’s office is unsure as to how long the body has been there, or exactly how the person died.  According to neighbors, the previous owner of the home had “disappeared” a while ago.

I’m no real estate expert, but I’m pretty sure that a dead body in the house you just bought negates the purchase…at least I hope so, for this guy’s sake.
