Veteran died at home, body not discovered for four months

CBC story here

From the article:

A retired member of the Canadian military with a mental illness lay dead in his home for up to four months before he was discovered, says his sister.

Former corporal Shawn Brumsey, 50, originally from Deer Lake on Newfoundland's west coast, spent a 28-year career in the Canadian Forces before retiring from Canadian Forces Station St. John's in September 2014. He lived in neighbouring Conception Bay South.
