Police: Man Kept Roommate's Body For Month
Dead Man's ATM Card, Bank Account Used, Police Say

PUNTA GORDA, Fla. -- A man kept the decomposing body of his 86-year-old roommate in their house for a month while he used the dead man's ATM card and cashed his checks, police said.

David Morse, 40, told police that he didn't report roommate John Jones' death because Morse had active arrest warrants for failing to pay child support and he feared he would be implicated in the death, Punta Gorda Deputy Police Chief Butch Arenal said.

The body was discovered in a bedroom of the small house on Thursday after a rent collector stopped by, smelled a foul odor and contacted authorities, Arenal said.

A cause of death has not been determined, but Morse told police Jones died of natural causes in bed about a month ago.
