Police in western Japan said Thursday a man's dead body was ignored by crowds on a busy downtown street corner for two months before a taxi (news - web sites) driver finally alerted authorities.
The body, believed to be that of a homeless man in his late 60s or early 70s, was found in front of a popular (news - web sites) department store in the crowded downtown area of Osaka, Japan's second-largest city. A police official said it was partially decomposed by the time authorities collected it earlier this month. The official said the deputy chief of the local police precinct reported the corner is among the busiest in the city, with about one million people passing through the area each day.
The official, who requested anonymity, said the cause of death had not been determined but foul play was not suspected.
He said the taxi driver reported finding the body Dec. 4.

That is so sad. 
That poor man, no-one to miss him and all those millions of people walked right passed him and didn't even notice he was dead.
What a very lonely way to go.

If it was decomposing, it would stink horribly. How did it possibly go unnoticed???
maybe they assumed he was just a stinky bum 
Have you ever smelled rotting flesh? There's no mistaking it.
The problem is that people don't know how rotting flesh is supposed to smell 
Just goes to show how little people care these days
im guessing they knew but didn't care 
How could you NOT see a dead rotting corpse?2 MONTHS!Not noticed.Amazing.No offence to Canadians,they are great people,but I think they need a smell test or something....
Canadians? this body was found in Japan!
It really goes to show how uncaring our "civilised" world has become.
True true. I always give cash to homeless people. I dont care if they spend it on beer. If a beer is their only source of joy, then I can spare a 40 ouncer.
That is some cheaply bought karma there, dude
Shut- up Moe!!
what if it was beer that eventually killed him???
Moe? you are making me look bad. Besides, the article says that foul play was suspected .
