MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Margarita Sanchez`s husband didn`t speak to her for eight days. She thought he was angry, but he wasn`t. He was dead. Cayetano Sanchez, 83, died in bed more than a week ago, but his wife slept next to him every night for eight days before she realised it, the Mexican government news agency Notimex reported, citing police sources. State Judicial Police in the town of Huatusco, in the gulf coastal state of Veracruz, reported finding Sanchez`s partially decomposed body with the bed covers up to his neck, Notimex said. "The wife told authorities her husband did not speak to her for eight days even though she tried to speak to him without realising he was dead," Notimex said. A preliminary investigation suggested Sanchez may have died of alcohol poisoning, Notimex said. Margarita Sanchez was due to be examined by mental health specialists.
