据英国《每日电讯报》9月18日报道，美国内华达州卡森市(Carson City)一名老年男子
在家中孤独死亡一个月后才被邻居发现，而更令人震惊的是，警方在其住所找到价值
700万美元(约合4225万元人民币)的金条。
这位老人名叫沃特·萨迈兹科(Walter Samaszko Jr)，今年69岁，有心脏疾病。不
久前他在独居的家中死亡至少一个月后才被邻居发现。
萨迈兹科的银行账户中仅有200美元，然而警方在搜查他的住所时发现他囤积了大
量财物，包括成卷的纸币和一些纪念币等。更令调查人员惊讶的是，在一些标有“书籍
”的纸箱中藏有价值700万美元的金条。
据悉，萨迈兹科的财产将由他的侄女麦格丹兹(Arlene Magdanz)继承。麦格丹兹是
萨迈兹科血缘最近的亲属，警方是通过20年前萨迈兹科母亲葬礼的邀请函找到她的。
麦格丹兹是一名代课老师，虽然她也许已经与萨迈兹科多年没有联系，但是将依照
法律继承他的巨额遗产，一跃成为一名“百万富婆”。

Gold worth $7 million found in house after Nevada man dies

CARSON CITY —
Walter Samasko Jr., a recluse, died at home in May, but his body wasn’t
discovered until June, when neighbors complained of the smell coming from
his house.
There was only $200 in his bank account. But there was a $7 million surprise
at home.
As the house was being cleaned for sale, officials discovered gold bars and
gold coins stored in boxes in the garage and in the house.
The coins had been minted in such places as Mexico, England, Austria and
South Africa. Some dated to 1872.
There were so many coins that Carson City Clerk Alan Glover used a
wheelbarrow to haul the gold to his truck and deposit it for safekeeping.
Samasko had no will and no apparent close relatives. He was cremated and his
ashes were flown to Chicago to be placed with his mother, who moved with
Samasko from California to Carson City. She died in 1992.
Using a list of those who attended the mother’s funeral, Glover’s office
tracked down Arlene Magdanz, a first cousin living in San Rafael, Calif.
Magdanz, a substitute teacher, could not be reached for comment. But a
lawyer who talked to her said her first reaction was, “Oh, my God. Oh, my
God.”
She had not talked to Samasko, who died of heart problems, for a year and
has no plans for how to spend the unexpected inheritance.
Samasko hadn’t worked since 1968, but he had stock accounts of $140,000 and
$25,000 and was living off his investments.
“Nobody had any clue he was hoarding the gold,” Glover said.
