A UK pensioner who had died left hundreds of thousands to an unlikely person, and it wasn’t his family.

Ronald Butcher, 75, a lifelong bachelor, died in March 2013, but his body was undiscovered for weeks. Two months before he passed away, he signed a will leaving his $770,000 in savings to a builder, 45-year-old Danny Sharp of Kent.
