Sounds like a crock to me. If I were a lizard, I'd be more tempted by a delicous spider than a decomposing human. I'm amazed the article didn't say one of his pet boas ate him after being bitten by the black widow. Why on Earth would he sit around after being bitten by a black widow and let himself die?
I can't see why it isn't true? If the animals and insects weren't getting food and water, why wouldn't they eat something lying there full of food and moisture?
i do believe i read this same article not so long ago, same guy and creatures but the story has been doctored quite dramatically... In original story the stench was from decaying animals and the guy who was a bit of a loner and if i remember right had depression and went missing, resulting in the deaths and subsequent seizure of his pets...
My wife works in the media and almost everythings beat up...take it with a grain of salt. He probably died from natural causes.
I think it's pretty funny though, like Hornet said, most of the critters aren't even meat eaters or carian eaters for that matter... lol :lol::lol:
