Punta Gorda police believe the 86-year-old John William Jones remained in the bed he died in while his roommate, David Morse, 40, carried on as usual, except with slightly more capital. Morse allegedly has been using his dead roommate’s ATM card and collecting his social security and pension checks since his death.

A rent collector alerted the police after he went to the home and detected a foul odor.

“The man was found dead inside the apartment – badly decomposed,” said Butch Arenal of the Punta Gorda Police Department. “He [Morse] said he was scared to report it because he was wanted for a warrant out of Sarasota County for child support and he felt he would be arrested on the warrant if he reported it.”

It is unclear how 86-year-old John William Jones died at this point, although Morse claims it was from natural causes.

Arenal says they have never dealt with a case like this and are unsure if they will file charges in relation to the death. They will, however, be filing fraud charges.

Morse is currently in police custody and is being held on $1,070 bond for failing to pay child support.

It has two heads sticking out from opposite ends of its shell, along with a pair of front feet on each side. But there is just one set of back feet and one tail.

The turtle is apparently healthy, and the species can live 15 to 20 years, said Jay Jacoby, manager of Big Al’s Aquarium Supercenter in East Norriton. The turtle has not yet been named.

The store would not disclose how much it paid.

The same exotic-turtle collector sold another Big Al’s store a conjoined-twin turtle about 20 years ago, Jacoby said. The man lives in Florida, but he declined to identify him.
