“I don’t see dead people.”

Signs were missed, leading to the tragedy in reporting here.

Officials in New York found the decomposing body of a man inside a van parked for weeks beneath a busy highway overpass, gathering parking tickets.

The city’s medical examiner said George Morales, 59, had died naturally of heart disease.

His body was found in the car only when the vehicle was being towed away after members of the public reported smelling a foul odor in the area. So, we can rule out both “see no” and “hear no” as to evils, that is.

Police said officers would not normally search vehicles they ticketed, other than to peer into the windshield to copy the very long vehicle identification number and walk to the rear of the car to record the license plate.

The daughter of Mr Morales said she couldn’t understand how no one noticed her father inside the Chevy Ventura. Had he been driving a Ford, this might have never happened.

“They just gave him tickets,” Jennifer Morales told the New York Daily News.

She said she had reported her father’s disappearance, but the police said they had no record of it.

They did, however, say that they are looking into the case, which is a bit inconsistant with their policy to not looking into illegally parked cars.
