I wonder what sort of TV it is, it just accumulated 9000 hours non-stop and kept going.

He was blind for years. Why not simply listen to a tape recorder or something similar instead of the TV? Would have saved him a ton on electricity.... rather off point ;p

Who was paying all the bills while after he died? I surprise the power company didn't turn the juice off.

Here is my theory on why the electricity was never turned off.

He was 70, he was retired, he lived in a nice looking house. He lived on a fixed income, and they just direct deposited his pay every month, and his bills took them directly out every month.

It could happen.
