Fantastic work. This looks like it hit really hard, but if there’s any family then it may well be easier on them seeing the house in the good state you left it in instead of all overgrown. Take some time out for you. Well done for all you do. Congratulations on the soon to be new addition to the family 😊

@@Em280483 this actually happened last October. I tried to keep things going on the channel for a bit but after this happened but I had to just step away for a bit. The great news is I have alot of content from last year that never got put up and already alot of jobs from this year. I am extremely excited to finally be out working again after winter.

@@LawnCareJuggernaut I’m so glad you’re doing better. It’s so important to stop & take time to reflect & refresh every so often. It’s also fantastic that you recognised this was a time where you needed to do exactly that. It’s not always about pushing forward & through. Self care is a priority, not a luxury….so they say 😊

@@LawnCareJuggernaut life and death happens everyday,please don't let that interfere with the good you do by helping others.even at that house last Oct.the last thing that family needed to worry about was the lawn.you fixed that for them,not to mention helping the person in the house,thank you.god bless

Respect to you thank God you did cut that lawn now the person can be laid to rest

That’s awful to hear, condolences to the family, you are a hero for taking that dog in!

Wow very nice of you how was the dog doin?

Omg that poor dog🥺, days without food, without water and all alone. Poor German Shepherd. This is so sad. She was saved thanks to you❤️

@Ryan Houghton . No one said anything about the dog eating any part of my neighbor. You clearly went to a very dark place here. He had arrangements for his brother to take his dog and his brother refused leaving her in the animal shelter traumatized. People have depression and it gets worse when they can’t pay their bills or get lonely and people like you making ignorant comments make things worse for some , try being nice it may be hard for you but you could try.

@Ryan Houghton You're a sad human being

Great person thanks for caring

I agree with you he handled it but I would had stopped mowing the back and called it in .

The family I am sure are graftfulfor what you did.great job! Blessing !

Yes she's lovely.

If they don’t want to live anything from this, they are not family anymore. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Family? Obviously they didn’t care to visit or check on him nor be concerned about his high lawn had they passed by .. !!

@@RissaNicole84 What a terrible thing to say... I served for 23 years in the military, over half of which was served overseas, including 3 combat tours... You have no clue what is going on with that family; they could have been close, but due to circumstances not been able to see each other for long stretches of time. If anything happened to my family while deployed to Iraq, it could quite possibly be that I wouldn't have known anything until returning from deployment. By the looks of the grass in the front yard, it couldn't have been more than a month since the last yard trimming (some people let the back go longer between mowing than they let the front go). What if the family is in another state, what if the family went on vacation? You really don't have a right to be judgmental without knowing the family nor their circumstances!

@@jasonpenn5476 Thank you for your service.

@@jasonpenn5476 CSB. Ever hear of a phone?

Wow what an ass the person stole their stuff thats a way to get rid of your dignity if they ever had any

Sounds like he wasn't very bright, if you figured out he was stealing the belongings...

Yea fuck that shit not everyone is white and not a suspect

Geez, what sort of person does that, steals from a dead person like that? Then again, a friend of my brother had a stroke while she was driving a few months ago, she's 23 years young. Crashed the car and while she was lying on the ground outside of the car in a coma, someone stole her purse and phone...

That’s terribly sad. 😭

I agree with you there he did the family a good thing. I would had stopped and called it in then asked if they want me keep mowing ? But someone must have known the person was dead bc he said the windows were open unless it was a elderly person? The who thing is sad . I am glad as a plain clothes Federal Law Enforcement Agent I never have seen anything like that .

@@mariarohmer2374 maybe but it depends on how well you know them i dont even know who my neighbors are its none of my business what they do if they stopped coming to their house i might notice but just assume they've moved and not snoop on others business to much

@@bobobob5108 That's one way to be as a neighbor. If it works for you, great. But it's not the norm. Most people are aware and do notice patterns. I like my privacy and prefer people out of my business. That said I would also like people to notice if something seems off pattern or not normal. We're all here on this one planet & should be helping each other. People always use the saying that it's none of their business but I think it's just people don't want to care of make an effort. I feel most strongly about it when it comes to seniors. They are vulnerable and could use the neighborly support.

Yeah no that's not a thing here. Here the norm is to be cordial with ones neighbours, but you would never be close enough with them to "notice patterns" beyond 'Oh, that person might have moved out'. It's not about lack of care, it's about respect for other's privacy.

@@Cinderbloom Exactly. I wave and sometimes speak to all my neighbors but I definitely wouldn’t notice if something was different from their usual day to day.

ironically it's the same in animal rescue. yeah we are all good people, but the ones who care to much are the ones that burn out. :( you have to learn to "switch off" or compartmentalise (for lack of a way to fully explain it), and focus on what good you are doing, because if you focus to much on the negative (and there is a lot), it will take you down such a dark path that you will not be able to help others. First rule many carers brake, and those with big hearts can't always handle. "you can not care for others if you do not first care for yourself. "

There is so much insight meaning wisdom in this paragraph, it should be read over and over again and again

@@Blackfox_Kitsune I rescued actively for two years. I have diagnosed PTSD, four of my own foster fails, and frequent nightmares because of what I saw. I can't imagine those who deal with the deaths of human beings, when seeing the awful things that people do to dogs was enough to damage me emotionally in a severe and permanent way. Thank you to everyone who does this for animals and for humans, and the respect I have for those who could continue to do what I could not is immense. Humans can be so very, very evil, and nowhere is it more evident than when looking at those who cannot help themselves, whether the victims are canine or human. There are some truly despicable people in this world, but the heroes that rescue dogs and/or other humans in need are amongst the bravest and most selfless. They are truly the best society has to offer, and I'm so profoundly grateful that not everyone was as weak as I ended up being. I'm ashamed that I could not continue on, but I am proud of what I did accomplish while I was an active rescuer. I directly rescued 19 dogs myself, fostered quite a few(and adopted 4 of the ones I fostered), and assisted or participated in more than 100 rescues from injured strays to endangered animals being sold or given away on Craigslist. It wore me down emotionally and psychologically, and I'll never forget some of the horrific things I saw. I couldn't do it for very long, but I have to believe that I at least made a little bit of difference in the lives of those dogs I was able to help. Imagine how many animals are helped by those strong enough to do it for many years. I'm in awe. Honestly. Thank you for carrying on where I could not. 💙

If the windows were opened to air out the place, someone already knew about it. Can't help but wonder if it was a homicide or neglect/failure to call medics if due to natural causes. RIP to the individual that passed.

It can be an honor to be the one there and it can be heartbreaking. I was able to hold hands, pray,clean up after passing, until it was just me n pap....that one hit hard to fast, no warning just something is wrong Dee then gone.

Being a caregiver for the elderly and doing hospice when a lot of people and do what we do, but make there life feel so much better in there transition. ❤

Cathie, you and your ‘flightpath’ colleagues are rare in being there when there’s little chance of recovery. I hope I have such a one when it’s my time. As a nurse, you must be special to be able to deal long term with those who are not returned to health and go home, despite your efforts.

Exactly. Someone had to notice. It baffles me. The neighbors obviously never saw anyone move out, the yard becomes overgrown and no one questions anything, even call for a welfare check anonymously.

So sorry this happened to you. I'm sure you were bothered for quite awhile. Thank for all you did and do,

Thank you for sharing and reminding me that to have good neighbors it starts with ME being a good neighbor first. Thanks again.

I'm surprised nobody noticed the smell!

But who opened the windows? They had to know there is a body there. The person may try to cover the crime scene by opening windows to dissipate the smell, but most murderers don't care about the smell, or stop to open windows. Family, if any, would not open windows and leave the body. Maybe windows were opened prior to the death, to cool house, maybe A/C broken, or bill not paid. Police don't think it's a natural death... maybe they saw stab wounds, bullet holes, bound hands, etc. I for one, would like to know what happened and to who. 😢

@@sandrachebo Elderly person may not have the funds for A/C and had windows open. May have passed from extreme heat. Was there a follow up that I missed stating police didn't think it was a natural death? It would be treated as unknown until a ME makes the call on cause of death. I agree that it is sad that no neighbor's noticed/questioned not seeing resident. Not all neighborhoods socialize and that is sad.

@@lahawk7410 that was the same thing I said. At the end of the show, the police told him that it was now a crime scene. The officer who came out first was talking on his phone, probably calling detectives and CSI team. The OP said they told him to leave. Check the title. The ME will make final determination but police must investigate and collect evidence first. ME on scene may make preliminary determination based on visible evidence.

The reality is, that’s how a lot of open suburban neighborhoods are anymore (not talking small suburban areas, but large ones with long streets lined with many homes that all look similar) - no one bothers to know their neighbors beyond a face and first name basis with the “not my business” mentality. Not even just suburban areas, but the urban/metro ones, as well. The more people there are, the less of a community - becomes overwhelming to even keep up with the ones next door, and many get too consumed with their own selves to pay any mind to 20+ homes around them on one street let alone the sheer volume of ever changing faces within a 2 mile radius due to the amount of traffic coming and going. I know that’s how it was when I lived in the outskirts in a suburban community near Columbus, OH back in the early 90s. Decent area like shown in this video, but neighbors beyond the ones directly next to us were basically nonexistent. Always seemed like a new batch of people moving in nearby within months of prior occupants moving out, everyone in constant paranoia over who you can trust, so most kept to themselves and never got involved in anything unless police are coming to their door and asking about something, but way too often it’s never the other way around. More often than not, it usually boils down to people claiming they have their own problems and don’t need “new ones” by getting involved, though. Those who have ever lived in a small rural backwoods areas (not rural as in 1,000+ populations, talking even smaller and more secluded) will know exactly what I mean with community. It’s just different in those areas, and it shows with how a community responds to events and how far one will go out of their way to keep in contact with someone that goes beyond just whoever lives next door. Some suburban communities can be really good with these things and I’m obviously not referring to them, but if you’ve lived in different areas, you’ll know exactly the communities I’m talking about. Real pretty and seemingly safe on the surface, but very cold and distant once in them.

who would just leave in that situation

🙏🙌🙏

Would be kinda crazy to leave without telling anyone given he'd spoken to neighbours and they'd eventually find the body with him having been on the property some time before.

@@JT-wu2if unfortunately, you'd be surprised.

Keep strong!

Honey this is Tulsa Oklahoma people in Oklahoma City really don't give a fuck about their neighbors or other people why do you think he was the only one that called 911 when he smelt it you can tell if a smell is so strong like that of death that person has been in their dead for a while a longer than 3 days and then the fact that someone open the windows and you never know maybe the person that passed away open the windows before they passed away

So very true I've seen it in the apt. complex I live in. Actually got hold of the office for a welfare check on a person who was quite loud and disturbed then the person was silent and I had a feeling. It's very disturbing to come across and my heart goes out to this man and the respect shown and the way he handled it as a citizen of the town and called for a welfare check

I’m fairly sure those neighbors knew more than they were saying.

@@goldierocks. They very well might not. People often don't pay attention to their neighbors beyond "they're being annoying" or "they've been quiet for a while."

I usually check in on my elderly neighbour that lives right below me at least once a week. She is very healthy and I often also just see her out and about but still, her kids don't live close and especially during the last two years we all just kept an eye on each other.

That's assuming they knew they were going to die, I'm not so sure.

Abandoned homes have been a slight fascination of mine, but they always come with a wave of sadness. Wondering of what happened to who lived there and what their story may have been. I worried my boyfriend's house would have the same story after he suddenly passed from his addiction, after I found him 12 hours too late. Thankfully our neighbor bought the house and it was surprising that it didn't take years to go through probate courts. It's just hard to think that someplace that is called home for however long, suddenly fades into the past.

And if that is your wife, we have the same taste if u know what I mean. This man is living his LIFE

Very pretty. :)

That's the most tragic part of the whole situation for me. It's sad what we've become as a society.

One of my mom's biggest fears is dying in her home alone and no one checking on her for weeks ....

A month went by and the dog was going nuts.. to cut a really long story super short... the dog ate her to survive I assume.. but was put down afterwards. They scooped up her poor remains & put them into some kinda medical bag ? Idk.. I watched it all go down, me & my mother called for the welfare check. Still feel really bad about it all to this day. God bless.

Nope cause not my buisness or my problem. I'll happily take the dog because they're precious and I care about them more than a person.

I think it was very intuitive of her to notice something was wrong. She can read you very well. I can read my husband pretty good and know when something is a little off

Definitely important to take care of yourself and your own mental health first. I’m part of my local volunteer fire department but we’re a small area so we’re also the only local ambulance so a lot of our calls are EMS related rather than fire related. It’s definitely hard to deal with a lot of the stuff that you see especially without being able to talk to your family or friends about it because of hipaa. One of the biggest things the chief stresses though is to either talk to other guys that are part of the department about it, or seek professional help if you believe it’s bad enough. He also constantly stresses that we should feel comfortable letting him know that we need a break from going on calls if we start to struggle with any of it. In fact he forced a few of the guys who went on a particularly rough call involving a child to take a break, he didn’t let anybody on that call come to any calls for 2 weeks.

It never hurts to talk to a counseling professional. Especially after that.

I’m a 20 yr police dispatcher who left that life to become a RN. Thank you for all the people you helped as your time as a nurse. This happens more than people would like to think - passersby calling in that “smell.” I’m happy to give this video a LIKE and 👍.

Since you're a former cop ill ask you for your opinion. He said it was a crime scene, do they do that for natural deaths?

@@bella42291 I suspect they handle it like a crime scene until it proves to be otherwise.

@@bella42291 like the person above me said, it's just until it's proven to not be a crime scene. Whenever/wherever a person is found deceased, it's considered a crime scene until it is cleared and an investigation proves if it was an accident, natural causes, homicide, etc.

Thank you for your service. I feel your pain, I have bad knees and a back. Someone got me the ddp yoga routine and I laughed, but I stuck it out and it really helped. I walk so much easier now. You should look into it.

Red Man may I suggest you never be ashamed of getting help from friends and family. This is a sign of respect from them. And I am learning our shame comes from us not loving ourselves enough, which usually stems from what we learned from our childhood (sounds like a lot of phsyco babble, but the older/more mature I get, I realize there is some truth to it and I don't have to blame anyone for it and the good news is, we can change that mindset). Hold your head up high when you receive blessings like the ones you described. You are a much loved man. Thank you for your service, my fellow armed forces member. Not all of us see combat, but we all signed up knowing we might be at risk of some level of danger.

Don’t you ever EVER feel ashamed. Hold your head high sir! I’m young (ish) and chronicle disabled and a chronic pain sufferer but I do love our riding mower we now have at the farm. For the last 10 years I wasn’t allowed to use my father’s big one. He got a small John deer or similar, the validation is extreme to be able to shove that “I can’t” into the next territory. It’s having the right tools. Keep your head up sir! I see you! (Inside and out) take care.

Thank you so much for your service. I'm the daughter of two Korea Era vets. Dad's still alive but my mom passed away in 2016. She was in her 80s by then and was disabled. Her room mate, a lady who had shared the house and life for over 50 years (they were both divorcees) had passed away and I didn't know that she was having depression to the point she was. Her lawn, which she had kept clean and neat for almost 40 years, got overgrown. I got a call from a lady who knew mom, that the yard was overgrown. I called her and asked, she didn't know anyone to call for help. I honestly didn't either and the quotes we were getting for cutting it were out of our price range. My husband or my son would have done it but we all live 700 miles away. So, I got to calling first the VA and then the VFW, which my mom was a member of. They didn't have anyone but they said they would ask around. There was a female reservist who was home on a month furlough that volunteered to go and help. She not only did the grass, she did some grocery shopping for my mom as well, and took dog food for mom's dogs. I was so thrilled that she was there for mom. It wasn't long after that mom was unable to care for herself any longer. She was in a nursing home and she told me she led the "great escape" out the emergency exit for about 20 residents who heard the ice cream wagon coming and they all wanted to buy ice cream. Yeah, that's mom, getting into "trouble" and leading the rest of everyone into it too. I miss her. Don't be ashamed that you couldn't do the work. You have a reason. And reaching out for help when you need it gives someone else the opportunity to give, something they are wanting to do, just like Lawn Care Juggernaut. You give them the chance to feel good by making you happy and helping you. (((hugs))) (btw: I'm disabled, wheelchair most of the time, I had to learn to ask for help and that's the lesson I learned.)

Its a procation incase is something wrose

The thing that made it actually suspicious is the fact that someone purposely opened all those windows, and the body was still in there.

Pretty sure the person didn't open all the windows to air out the house after they died.

Finally, some common sense! It very well could be the family knows of this death and is collecting SSRI or something instead of reporting the death. That might sound a bit far flung but put the pieces together and you have someone who knows there's a death in there and is airing it out. And no family has reported a missing relative. The windows being opened and a body inside is certainly reason for calling it a crime scene.

@@YoursUntruly That’s what I’m thinking unless they passed on a beautiful day and had the windows open

They're criticizing the implication that it's charity. There's a concept of free at the point of service. It's why we say healthcare is (could be) free, but really we all pay into it. Maybe be less eager to condemn?

I completely agree. You could have been at any other property in the world and not have your wife show up. This was how it was meant to happen. Her being there gave you time to formulate a plan because you didn’t want here m me to see something bad and that need to protect her allowed your brain time to process. I’m so glad you didn’t just walk away because that person deserve a dignifyingy farewell. Everyone deserves to have someone out there that knows they mattered even if we didn’t know them. No one deserves to Be alone.

The craziest part is that if you could smell death in the back yard, how could the neighbors not smell that and ask questions. If I smelled that, I would have called the police immediately and asked them to come check the house because it smelled bad.

Took the words right out of my mouth. You were meant to be there.

@@cindysergott9815 got my support

@Cindy Sergott They honestly could not have noticed, he said in the video it was getting towards fall so people were probably not out as much since it would be getting cooler but not yard work time yet when the leaves fall. Also, if he didn't smell it in the back he wouldn't have noticed the smell in the front, evidenced by how he didn't notice it in the front until he went to the back and came to the front again. Either way it is good that he was there and whoever it was can be properly put to rest

My thoughts too. His grandma is watching over him and probably guided him there because she knew he would do the respectful thing.

I was thinking the same! I love how respectful you were not only to situation and the deceased, but to your wife as well. I admire what you are doing for the communities you visit and yards you beautify and also that your wife cheers you on while doing so. So refreshing to see these days

No one ever looks out window or calls the police. It’s like they don’t want to know, not their car, not their problem. It’s really sad. Another time there was a businessman who worked downtown where at the time there were a lot of homeless intoxicated people. So it wasn’t uncommon to see someone intoxicated laying on ground. It was winter and at lunch this person decided to take the alley. He was an older man. He slipped on the ice, fell and winded up breaking his leg. He yelled for help but everyone ignored him because they thought he was an intoxicated homeless man. So he laid in snow for 2 hours before someone finally got him help.

@Fk Yu Beautiful dehumanization of those who experience the same thing, pal.

@Fk Yu....Well, I'd like to respectfully disagree. About 70% of 911 calls I ran as a firefighter/paramedic were calls where police were dispatched, and on the call, so I've seen first hand how they treat people in a blighted areas, and more wealthy areas, and some I trusted with my life and am still personal friends with, others not so much. I also support defunding the police, and that the culture of being a cop, has become severely broken. The few bad apples is not accurate either for people that blindly defend that culture. It's actually accurate if the whole phrase is used, 'It only takes a few bad apples to ruin the bunch". The "culture" is a problem because, and I do believe it's the minority of cops that are truly bad and dangerous, but the culture of the thin blue line and all that, makes so that it's career suicide if you speak ill of your fellow officer, or if your a police chief that properly disciplines his men and women, or a DA that properly prosecutes bad cops, and the longer that cycle goes on the more normalized and tougher it gets to break, Defunding the police creates so much outrage partly due to poor naming IMO, and misinformation. No one is calling for lower salary or demoting officers, or go all out purge. But what happens when govt. keeps cutting social program after social program that directly impact the poor, marginalized and people of color, those people no longer have those resources and when 911 is called, if it's not medically related, it gets dumped on the police. There's no reason for two people with guns to show up for an elderly vet who's cussing through an open window because he couldn't get a ride to the VA to refill his meds. All defunding was meant to do is get rid of those few bad apples, and instead of new hires, maybe reopen some of those programs that cause certain 911 calls to be dumped on the police, and maybe invest in programs the require police departments to teach more conflict resolution and dealing with mental health care issues, instead of investing in MRAP mini tanks, and classes on how to be a fearless warrior. They signed up to be peace officers, to serve and protect, not be a warrior.

​ @Fk Yu ...Now as far as the military, you can't paint them with a broad brush like that, it's what they are trained to do, and like it or not, that's what it takes to have the greatest fighting force on the planet. Now if you think, why do we need the greatest fighting force on the planet, I would say today, we don't, but after WWII, the govt and DOD made a decision that our military should be strong enough to fight two major powers on different fronts, at the same time. Which made sense after that war. Problem is it created the MIC, (google it and sit back) which every aspect of our socioeconomic structure is tied in with now, and the entire world has known that no one can come near us in conventional warfare for the last 20yrs. That's why 20yrs ago many countries that are not our allies started investing in different kind of warfare, and it's already starting to pay off for them, while we can't break the cycle of throwing money at our defense budget. IMO the U.S. hasn't fought a war or been involved in a conflict that truly protected our freedoms here back at home, or did any kind of nation building, since WWII. That doesn't make it our soldiers fault though. Any good the U.S. did in other countries over the years, humanitarian efforts, rebuilding infrastructure, or just being kind to the locals and trying to lift them up instead of kick down, have been 100% the act of the boots on the ground men and women who sign up to serve. Are there some far right gun loving whackos that join, sure, but every group or type of people on the planet have X amount of folks whos reasoning and ideology are not the best, and you can't condemn that whole group for those few. War is just an extension of failed political discourse, and as much money politicians make and have invested in the business of war, they need to keep a steady supply of soldiers, why do you think we are one of a very few developed countries that don't pay for university level education, why do you think there has been a stigma on being too smart or educated or a book worm in this country for 50+years, why are so many anti-science people taken seriously or normalized? For one, the govt. wants us just smart enough to work the machines and do some paper work, not smart enough to realize there's only a small percent making all the money. The other is, appx. 65%-70% of kids that sign up to serve during times of peace do so partly or directly due to the G.I. bill. You think if the U.S. had free college, like most other countries, we'd have as many kids signing up to possibly get killed in some North African country their family never knew existed prior to them signing up? Just a thought ✌🏻💚.

Very well put , definitely talk to someone if need be ! Please 🙏

This!! I encourage you to see someone professional, Even if it’s only one or two times. I just spent seven months off of work dealing with severe PTSD that turned into seizures. They’re called PNES seizures, they are non-epileptic seizures that are caused by severe emotional stress. I also am someone who loves to work, and being off of work for that length of time was very hard on me from an emotional standpoint as well, not to mention nearly losing my home, my vehicle, and a myriad of other issues. I’m still not allowed to drive any motorized vehicle of any type, which makes it hard to do your job when you are a forklift driver. It was a combination of some of the things that I saw as an EMT, other life experiences that I had been through that had been very toxic and damaging, and then a final kick that toppled it all down. For a year before the feet seizures started happening I thought hard against breaking down but I didn’t know what I was doing, I didn’t have any coping mechanisms, and I didn’t have good support grounding. And honestly people thought I had just gone crazy. I was severely depressed and overly hyper reactive whenever someone said something off kilter. Fortunately I had a good Doctor Who recognized that I was in trouble and got me to the right people who have basically held my hand is I rebuilt my mental health over the last few months. I am now back to work, still can’t drive (cannot tell you how annoying it is to I have to ask my mommy for a ride at 43 years old!) Fortunately she has been very gracious and help me with basically everything I needed rides to and from. Work has found a temporary position for me in another department that I don’t have to drive a vehicle for. And through this whole process I have learned who my real friends are that said, well in the end it has been a very positive experience for me, I never want anyone to have to pass through this. It is hard, it is heart wrenching, and it is heartbreaking. Even if you do not think that you need help, just see a therapist once and ask her straight up for coping tips in dealing with something like what you saw.

I agree with you, to a point. But I think I get why he does it; unfortunately, a lot of folks that would watch/do this kinda work are the type to get cranky about that kinda crap. Edit: think I heard a "woosh" or 2, lol.

it's almost impossible to *give* offense. But all too often it is easily *taken.* There's absolutely *no* need to apologise.

that is the problem with todays world. everything offends someone. everyone has to apologize to people they have never met. its all going into the toilet.

That's bullshit. I can't believe thats the mentality of most people

It’s not. Most people call fuzz for that. Half time they call police when they were the murderer.

Amen to that! Keep doing what you do best, making this world alittle bit better and kind! Also, thank you to all the first responders out there! Stay safe!

Then again, sometimes a person grieving for whatever reason just has to feel his feels and allow it to pass. Also, clinical depression (different from grief, but grief can lead to it) isn't a "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" thing. It gets down to brain chemistry. It's good to buck up if one can, but sometimes they will leave something simmering underneath that will boil over sooner or later. I believe in pressing on when you can but checking yourself now & then to see how the process is going. It's cool that his viewers are supportive. That always helps. (Retired psych professional just giving her 2 cents.)

​@@DeannaAKADeanna Your a shrink, I'm an angry old man, I plead the fifth!!

I'm surprised too. My old neighbor wasn't home for a couple weeks, but his car was there. We called his cell and turned out he'd been feeling sick he went to the Dr and he had a stroke. He came back a couple weeks after that.

It's possible the neighbors truly did not notice it, or that the smell that reached their house is subtle enough be ignored (at least at that time). The windows of the deceased's house aren't exactly wide open and there is ample space between the adjacent houses. Decomposing fumes are volatile and light so they tend to go upwards instead of spreading sideways. Thus, the odor coming out of the (small) windows can easily be blown up by wind and away from the nearby houses.

@@Jen.E that’s being a good neighbor! Glad to hear you checked on him.

I’m glad on my little street, we know most of the neighbors (my adult son is the “go to” for rides to pick up cars from mechanic, check on the grandmother & washes her dishes for her, check on pets & property, yes he works, he’s a gamer too & home) I know the neighbors to right side & down, our other neighbors know the ones on the other side of them & down, a couple are newer to the street and haven’t quite come around (language barrier, but the younger family members speak English) and we all wave to each other, but if something were to happen we wouldn’t know right away though, I’m a mail lady out of the same office so my mailman would ask me if something seemed off, then of course I’d check it out and call)

Amen to that!

I just found this a few days ago and I find myself coming home from work and instead of tv, I watch his stuff!!!

I agree 💯 I just found this page too.. He a good man that's for sure not too many around anymore 🙏

@@queenallie5786 wish I found him on another note, but this just shows how big heart this man has, I recently lost my grandmother and have seen some nasty scenes in the past and I can already visualize the scene inside the house just by how bad the smell was described, who knows but yeah... death is not the pretty sight but yeah... Vallhalla waits us all, see you there

He suddenly popped up on my recommended too, I’ve no idea why but I’ve watched several of his videos now and love what he does and what he stands for. It’s so lovely that he protected his wife with the cat story, that was so sweet. It’s such a good job that he called for a wellness check and the police responded so quick, at least he saved family or friends (if there are any) from walking into whatever was in the house.

Your cousin has a really good name.

@@LawnCareJuggernaut did they ever give you an update

❤

@@beachygirl3298 He's not related to the person in any way. They don't give out updates to strangers.

@@LawnCareJuggernaut 🤣

Had the exact same thought... took a stranger doing a good deed to find out this happened. It's really sad that not one of the neighbors came to check on this person when things started getting overgrown, etc. I can't blame them, I'd probably make the same assumptions with the way things are now. Back in the day, everyone on the street knew each other and the busy bodies didn't miss a beat. Now it's either face-in-phone and see nothing around you, or see everything and keep it to yourself. Crazy upside-down world.

@@maryl3301 Maybe they did, but if no one answers, how far are you willing to go? (wandering around peaking in the windows could end badly.) That is why police will do "wellness checks". For the record, when a bank forecloses on a property, they tend to take care of it. Letting it get overgrown like this is a magnet for criminal activity. (when he said he smelled something, I immediately went "meth".)

You were simply doing an act of kindness, not only for the owners of the house; but, you were also helping the neighbors and neighborhood! I'm so sorry that you had to have such a sad discovery on a great day! However, you did the right thing by call the police and notifying them of the smell, and the windows all open! When the police arrived, you went and spoke with them, waited as they asked you to do, and then you filled out the paperwork they gave you!. I know you would've liked to finish the job you started; but, with the police finding a deceased person in the house, and you said it was now a crime scene, the police probably didn't want anything disturbed, even grass clippings in the driveway! You did an excellent job, called the police with your possible suspicions, worked while you waited around, and that's all you could've done! It's a sad world, and very unfortunate for you that day. I'm sure your wife was upset when you told her also. Both of you are very good samaritans! Hope this case has been resolved, and you're feeling much better for where you were and what you did that day. May God bless both of you! ❤🙏❤🙏❤

Well said. Thank you for your service. God bless you.

I hear it's actually good to joke about it. Or it could really make you go crazy after awhile

@@saitamacraft5322 it's good in a sense that you're sharing the experience with people around you that understand. But the joking about it is only masking the trauma of seeing the things you see. For example and not to gross anyone out. One of the worst well being checks I've been involved with happened on one of the hottest days of that summer. You could smell the woman from outside. But we have a job to do regardless of the early signs. Being the least senior of my crew I was first up the stairs to the second floor of the house, I managed to end up being the only one to make it up the stairs as the smell was that bad. I could clearly see that the woman was deceased on her bed. I noticed that her face appeared to have decomposed partially. After confirming that she had passed we exited the house to discuss what steps were next for her son. We explained that police would show up to rule out any possible crime and that after he would need to contact whoever she had arrangements with to retrieve her for a funeral. He explained that he had just seen her a few days prior. But based on what I had witnessed that didn't seem possible. Until he mentioned he would need animal control for her aggressive cat. Things fell into place at that point. And now I can't trust my cat to leave me alone if I happen to pass for whatever reason. While you try to find the upside in things like that, I can still see her laying on her bed and what the cat had done to her. The smell is something you don't forget either. But I wouldn't be able to continue doing my job if I didn't make an excuse to make light of the situation.

Well said my friend. Well said.

@@Mr.Wongburger Ah ok, I think I understand

My grandfather went missing and passed away 2ish in MA and when the dive team found him, they did a wonderful job informing my dad and cousin who where there helping to search for him. Its never an easy job to let someone know that their loves one is dead, but when people are able to do it in such a kind way it always makes it such an easier process

@@mrselfdestruct7605 I am always so glad to hear that the dive team did a heartfelt job. In all my years it was ALWAYS about the families. That was a top rule.

@@Marcus_A_Bishop typo, 'switch' was the intended word. Ty for pointing that out.

As someone who has been burned and gotten skin grafts from the knees down, (in places i was burnt to the bone) I have great respect for nurses who work in burn units. When I was there I had to leave early against medical advice. I had no choice. My 3 teens were home alone and my husband (now ex) was working away from home. Someone had to be there. One of my nurses was in tears and begged me to stay. I was very very lucky that I had a close friend who was a nurse that came home with me and did my bandage changes. My nurse in the hospital was terrified I would lose my legs. To see her actually shed tears for me, basically a stranger, showed me how much care goes into what you do. So I want to thank you because I can't thank her. I didnt think to get her name. It was a very hard time for me but her caring greatly helped my spirits. And just as a side note I am fine. I had no infection or issues. I was very lucky and lucky that my good friend knew what she was doing. Anyone who knows teenagers knows it is not a good idea to leave them alone for god knows how long. I was lucky I had someone there for the first five days. It was then that I had to go home. I would also like to say to the couple that took care of this lawn, god bless you. You have another subscriber just because I think that how you handled this was indeed respectful and what you do is so very kind. It is so good to see good people. The last few years have been trying for us all, so seeing and hearing all of this, as well as peoples stories is a wonderful thing. Thank you all.

@@tracykym9972 Ty for sharing your story. I was only 21 at the time I was transferred to work the burn unit. I had been working at Olive View Medical Center. We had a 6.6 earthquake and the hospital was destroyed. The County of Los Angeles transfered me downtown to the county general hospital. I was blessed to have a job. Many of the employees were let go. You sound very courageous. I completely understand you putting your children first. I am very glad that you had a nurse friend to help you. Teenagers will definitely take advantage of some situations. I could write a book on them, and my ex husband too. I'm 73 now, and am at peace. It sounds like you are too, I hope that you are.

One of the most poignant comments here, but I also think a big concern by the author. He was so concerned he was leaving without his goal accomplished. Big heart, but you did a big thing today man.

from the amount of money he made from this video he more then covered his cost to mow the yard

This is what I was coming here to say. The outside work was the conduit to his real job that day. The Universe finds a way to get the job done. Like the saying goes, nothing is done without purpose.

@@dady2439 I obviously don't know for certain, but I assume the poster didn't mean cost as in money, the UKpostsr wasn't being paid anything by the homeowner, so whether they did the job or not the UKpostsr didn't have a cost/loss in that regard. If anything the nature of the video would gain them views and money. I assume the poster meant the emotional cost, the UKpostsr genuinely seemed bothered by the situation, most people would be. We can't smell what the UKpostsr smelled, but anyone who hasn't experienced the smell of death wouldn't know the kind of gut-punch it is to stumble across it. It's a very visceral experience, running across that. Your body instinctively knows what that smell means, I feel. Not to mention everything surrounding dealing with the police, your day not going as planned, feeling sorry for the person who has passed and their loved ones, etc. Aside from all that, I don't see why so many people shit on these kinds of UKpostsrs for making money doing what they do.
