Death Amidst The Trash

Posted by Red Kingman on

I came across this story while perusing aol.com written by Lisa Holewa.  She wrote about an untimely death and a Son whose priorities are just a tad bit off base.

She wrote that For three months, the adult son of Cecylia Opilka lived in their Chicago townhouse with her corpse. Her decomposing body was entombed within the garbage that filled the home almost to the ceiling, police said.  Cook County Medical Examiner's Office said, and police said her son told investigators she died on Christmas Day.

Ronald Opilka, 43, was arrested after the gruesome discovery Thursday, when police said a small bag of marijuana fell from his pocket as he pulled out his wallet to show officers his ID. He was charged with misdemeanor drug possession and released Friday.

Police said they likely would not seek charges against Opilka for failing to report his mother's death because he is mentally challenged and may not have the mental capacity to realize what he should have done.  But he had the mental capacity to be able to find the dealer on the street and buy his weed?!?
