Wow, it sucked that his brother died of cancer, but one lost life saved another.

A private investigator says he has tracked down a homeless Utah man and delivered some good news: He's inherited a lot of money.

David Lundberg said he found Max Melitzer pushing a shopping cart filled with personal possessions in a Salt Lake City park Saturday afternoon.


Lundberg declined to disclose how much money Melitzer will be receiving, but said the man's brother who died of cancer last year left him a "significant" amount in his will.

Nice find. I hope that he can improve his situation, and not squander it.

feel good story for today.

tomorrow, the money will probably be pissed away on drugs, gambling, or alcohol, unless there's an estate trustee or something in place.

Another vote for pissing away all the money. He is gonna get a roof over his head, and drink his way back to homelessness.
