The piece I heard about it on NPR said that he was still collecting his pension and somebody was spending it.
A woman who lived two doors over from me continued to cash her social security checks after her death, but it only went on for about 6 months, not 30 years. Her son was the guilty party. "Mummy" was discovered in the back room of her apartment, buried under 4–5 feet of trash, ruined household furnishings, and dead cats, cemented together with cat feces and urine. The cat output did a pretty good job of masking the odor of decomposition.
What a fscking nightmare. Sounds like an un-broadcastable episode of "Hoarders".
