Not really probably didn't have a mortgage, the electricity gas and water wouldn't have been used much ! Probably a couple of grand would have covered it
really sad, I hope he passed away peacefully and not in pain for days.
This has happened before but the body was discovered due to tell tale signs like smell of decomposition , flies at the windows and maggots crawling up the glass.

It's not all that rare 
happened to one of my neighbours (other end of the road, I didn't know him)
apparently the window cleaner saw him and thought there was a black feller in the armchair. My neighbour tells me he was a heavy drinker and used to come home from the supermarket with his carrier bags clinking.
Also happened to one of my oldest friends at the age of about 50
He'd always been a heavy drinker and when his mum died and left him a share of the family house he moved away into a rented flat over a shop and dedicated himself to drinking his life away. Wouldn't speak to any of his friends because they all encouraged him to get into work, cut down on the drink, etc.
Apparently he had a stomach ulcer which bled, and this is quite common among people who drink and smoke, but could have been treated.
he was found a couple of months after after having fallen between bed and wall, the undertaker said he was glad they didn't have to make him presentable for an open coffin
Another heavy drinking chum also pegged out, all my remaining friends are moderate and sensible people

His pension(s) would have been paid directly into his bank account and so his standing orders would have been paid out as normal. With sufficient income, nothing would make alarm bells ring at the bank.
Perhaps the banks could set up a system (don't ask me how) whereby an account that does not have any cash or cheque withdrawals from it except for S.O.s or D/Ds, sets alarm bells ringing after a period of say 2 months.
This situation has happened before and, unfortunately, this will probably not be the last time.
Wonder if the Pensions department will want to reclaim the overpaid pension, (bet they'll try) if so they will have to try to get it from the council who had the rates paid for two years.

its sad and says a lot about how we all run our lives now, but it isn't the banks business to check on clients, we all moan about big brother with all the cctv etc, imagine the uproar if a bank contacts someone to say they have been monitoring their account.
i remember a case in Glasgow a few years ago when an old boy was found dead they reckoned he had been dead for 7 months, all the cronies in his pub were moaning about social services etc taking no notice, why didn't they go and see him??

Unfortunately its the great apathetic attitude these days where we'd rather moan about officialdom not doing this or being responsible for that when we could have done something about it ourselves but are too lazy to do it and would rather leave it to others, that and the blame culture is what is really killing this country off.
It's a lot better than being hated.

That's not a bad idea at all, I worked in the IT department for a well known high street bank for years, and this would be easy to implement. I'll pass it on, just trying to think who best to ask, I reckon perhaps the FSA, as that would make it mandatory, and across the banks. Great suggestion. I think unless I've not thought it through.
Won't exactly save lives though will it? It will only mean that the bodies are found while still relatively fresh. TBH, I rather wait until fossilised before finding the body than having to sort out all that gunge and maggots.
there is already a system for detecting if vulnerable people are up and about. It can count how often you open the fridge, turn on the bathroom light etc.
You could probably get by by counting the time since the bathroom/WC was used with a PIR. Then it could signal if someone was lying at the bottom of the stairs or ill in bed within 12 hours or so; less if it had learned your daily routine.
However most people would probably not bother getting it. As you get older you get more curmudgeonly and less co-operative, and unwilling to give a key to some interfering busybody.
