I'm sure there's a great film in there somewhere...

From The Metro:

A former Conservative councillor slept in the same house as his mother's rotting corpse, an inquest into her death heard. Richard Stewart left his mother in her nightdress for six weeks because he couldn't bear the thought that she'd died.

By day the 63-year-old kept up appearances as a school governor, town alderman and senior Tory, knocking on doors to secure a comfortable majority as county councillor for St Austell Bay, Cornwall, in June 4, 2009. After winning his seat, Mr Stewart performed his normal duties – even explaining to one colleague that he had to leave a meeting because 'Mum wanted to watch Ascot'...

It's a real pity that Anthony Perkins is dead, I can just see him as a Conservative councillor.
