News Woman watched NASCAR with deceased man

Do you think she is also a Necrophilia?

Many of us like watching races in the company of other NASCAR fans, but Linda Chase of Jackson, Mich., might have taken that just a bit too far.

For the past 10 years, she lived together with Charles Zigler. And when Zigler passed away, they continued to live and watch NASCAR together for approximately 18 months until authorities found Zigler's body on Friday.

Zigler, known as Charlie, died naturally, Linda Chase said. "He just fell asleep." She kept him in his chair after he died, keeping him dressed and cleaned. His body did not stink, she said. She would talk to him and watch NASCAR races on television with him.

Jackson officials believe that Zigler, who would have been 67 or 68, died around Christmas of 2010. That was 18 months ago. When Zigler's family members went to check on him after not hearing from him for a while, they went to the police, who found Zigler's body in his chair.

Chase kept Zigler's body around for more than NASCAR races, however. She's admitted to cashing his social security checks, saying "I'm probably going to prison." She's currently being investigated. When family members, with whom Zigler did not have a close relationship, tried to contact him, Chase would tell them that he was gone. She told the paper that "It's not that I'm heartless. It's just that after so many bad things happen to you, I don't know."

"I didn't want to be alone. He was the only guy who was ever nice to me."

So, next time you have friends over for a race, check on them every once in a while. Yeah, they could be just taking a nap because it's Pocono, but you never know.

Maybe dead is the best way to watch NASCAR?

All NASCAR fans are dead inside anyway. Not a big deal.

I'm confused about "his body did not stink". A corpse rotting in his easy chair for 18 months and there was no "aroma"?

It was covered up by how much NASCAR stinks.

They'll probably find you the same way but watching a Bronco game with a donkey shalong in mouth. Headline news will say. Bronco fan dies of natural causes!

The story is pretty strange, but it's not even close to being one of the sickest stories. There's no victim here, just a crazy woman. Truly sick stories generally have a perpetrator and a victim.
