A man from the United States, Edward Marchion, recently experienced a shocking turn of events after purchasing a four-bedroom house on two acres of land in Connecticut without ever setting foot inside the property. Despite the stipulation that he couldn’t inspect the house before buying, Marchion proceeded with the purchase and later discovered it was already occupied by three deceased individuals.
Connecticut State Police revealed that the bodies found in the house were in a skeletal state. Two of the bodies have been identified as Sally Anne Cash and her son, Brian Cash. Sally Anne, the previous homeowner, and her husband had purchased the property in 2019 but stopped making mortgage payments, leading to foreclosure proceedings.
The house was put up for auction by the bank, and Marchion bought it sight unseen. Such auctions typically do not allow interior inspections, leaving buyers to rely solely on external conditions and public records. The Cashes failed to respond to the foreclosure complaint, leading to a default judgment and eventual foreclosure.
The discovery of the bodies in the house raised questions about the circumstances of their deaths and how long they had been there. Despite the eerie signs of “Keep out” and “private property” on the lawn, it was speculated that the signs were possibly placed by the occupants to deter entry before the auction.
Marchion, who won the auction, made a deposit before making the grim discovery and has requested a delay in closing the sale pending the police investigation. The cause of the Cashes’ deaths and the duration of their presence in the house remain unknown. The property has been tested for gas and carbon monoxide leaks, with negative results indicating no imminent danger.
