I never considered it; but the notion Chris might actually not even report her death is a distinct possibility. I've read news paper articles about this before, mentally unwell people who lived with their parents, and the parents passed away in fall/winter. So they just..left them, and it wasn't until post winter that people noticed the smell.

Legitimately, if Barb dies in winter, that could be one disgusting outcome. Not to mention given the state of their home, I'm wondering if people would ever notice. It always looked set back from the road to me, no one like all of 30 feet away. It's a massive uncontrolled hoard, I imagine it reeks to begin with. Rotting protein is rotting protein, will people actually notice?

Ultimately, I think when Chris has a complete breakdown when finally acknowledging Barb died, he might finally get the actual help he needs. It'll be sad to see a nearly 40 year old man in defensive hedgehog position, crying to CPU goddesses and pony OCs for help, but he legitimately could use the help and group home care. If any thing else, they might cut off his internet access, and that could only do a world of good for him.

Fuck, I sounded nice. Where's the button to make me sound like a typical troll?
Chris is a giant momma's boy and if she suddenly stopped interacting with him he'd look into it almost immediately. Now whether or not he'd actually find her carcass anywhere in the hoard is a different question.

I want a Weekend at Bernie's type situation where Chris has to keep moving Barb's corpse around in videos and on streams to convince everyone she's still alive.

Corrina's been dead for like ten years.

whoops... I even had that in the back of my mind about a post I was gonna make about how Chris reacted to past deaths but somehow it eluded me.

*sigh*She would've though. Even more feels. I guess it's up to Null and Marvin to do the Christian thing. I'll put something in the envelope at least I guess

Chris is the only one bringing home any money at all to the household, right?

I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't already happen a month ago and he's yet to realize.
No. He has a tugboat for his autism. Barb has an income in that she's got her pension and old people income. Plus any death benefits being paid out from when Bob crashed in.

Neither have a savings though, which is mind boggling. They both spend every dime they get instead of saving it.

Didn't they spend all of Bobs' money on a lawyer when they hit Snyder with their car?

I was being way too optimistic then. I'm amazed it's even taken this long, but it seems we're finally on the decline. To... catastrophe.
 
I never considered death benefits, life insurance payouts or whatever.

They have no money from Bob's death. They spent all that money on the lawyer fees,court fees, and Synder Medical bills from Chris hitting Synder with a car. Also remember that Chris had 4 lawsuits against him from not paying debts. .

Nah, Barb's had 3 lawsuits, Chris has had two.

Edit: Nevermind!
