Homeless man dies with $263,000 in cash

Authorities are looking for more information about an elderly transient who lived in an Iowa motel and left behind $263,000 when he died.

He coulda been a prostitute.

Oh uh, John Grant. Yes, he's my uh, father. Right. Who do I talk to to get the money?*ahem*

Not all homeless people want a home. So the man had some money. I've heard pan handling pays pretty good. Especially when you have no bills. Living a simple, no frills, only buy food as you need it life tends to allow that money to grow.

[Tampa Reader]

So he really wasn't a homeless man. The report reads - transient who lived in an Iowa motel and left behind $263,000 when he died. Contradiction in terms? Homeless man LIVES IN a motel, that's his home.

Makes for a more eye-catching tagline to say he's homeless. Who cares if the reporting is incorrect? ;p

I say it is nobody's business what he left. I know that it is not mine and do not envy the person that inherits the sum of money. We all will leave someday the same way we came into this world with nothing, so get used to the idea.

Why that must be my dearly departed Uncle John.

Maybe he had a home and sold it. Hence, the wad of cash.

But it's all about the "headline".
