Halloween display was 3-day-old corpse!!!

Residents at a California apartment building failed to alert police to the body of their dead neighbor because they thought it was a Halloween display, local media reported Saturday.

The decomposing body of Mostafa Mahmoud Zayed, 75, had lain in plain view of neighbors, slumped over a balcony chair, for at least three days before police were called to the Marina Del Rey building on Thursday.

The Los Angeles Times reported that Zayed had a single gunshot wound to one eye, and had apparently been dead since Monday. More...
