Firefighters say the man apparently died of natural causes sometime Tuesday. To get him out of his room, firefighters had to knock down a wall and then slide the man's body into the hallway. They then used a makeshift pulley system to get him down the stairs. At least a dozen firefighters were then seen lifting the man into a coroner's van.
Neighbors said the man used two canes to get around, but he hadn't been seen out of his room in more than a month. They said they had been doing what they could to help him with his daily needs.
