Nevada Recluse Dies with $7 Million in Gold Hidden in Home
A Carson City, Nev., recluse whose body was found in his home at least a month after he died left only $200 in his bank account.
But as Walter Samaszko Jr.'s house was being cleared for sale, officials made a surprise discovery: gold bars and coins valued at $7 million.
"Nobody had any clue he was hoarding the gold," Carson City Clerk-Recorder Alan Glover told the Las Vegas Sun, adding it was found stored in boxes in the house and garage.
