The real estate market is tough right now to say the least. At least for sellers. And if you are a seller- your home better be simply perfect, with the unbelievable competition that’s out there right now. And don’t get the Gorilla wrong, but would a dead corpse hanging in a closet make you want to buy a house? Well, one seller didn’t exactly think about that, and nor did he care. In fact, he left himself hanging dead in the closet of his home, while prospective buyers were looking around during an open house! Make no mistake here; The Gorilla is certainly not trying to make light of this very tragic scenario, but it’s a tough market out there and the guy requested the open house, and then hung himself right before it started to show!
Apparently, the 48 year old man was devastated over the recent loss of his mother and told a neighbor that there were just “too many memories” in the home. But to hang yourself right before the start of an open house? The poor fella must have given this one some thought! The realtor who discovered the body is still trying to recover from the shock of the incident. He was in the middle of a showing with several interested parties involved, when he opened the closet door and found the man hanging. The realtor quietly ushered everyone out of the home and locked the door and called police. He is being praised for the way he handled the situation by his employer. Now that’s a case of “buyers beware” if the Gorilla ever heard one!
