SALT LAKE CITY – 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.
"He'll no longer be living on the street or in abandoned storage sheds," he told The Associated Press. "He'll be able to have a normal life, and be able to have a home, provide for himself, and purchase clothing, food and health care."

except he probably has some sort of mental illness and will be right back there in a few years or sooner after he spends all the money... unless he has a financial advisor or other family to help him

You sound like my fiance. Only he assumed he's a drug addict and it'd be blown all on drugs or something. *shrugs*

I agree with your fiance - more or less but I assume he is addicted to gambling and will be back on the street in months

It is easy to assume that he has an addiction or a mental illness, but that doesn't necessarily make it true. Maybe he's just been very unlucky up until now.

I doubt they'll follow up on the story, but all the best to him anyway.

Well, we really can’t be sure as to what the Utah man would do. There is a chance that he might spend all of this money to drugs and alcohol as he was formerly addicted to but if he gets a good advisor and all, then perhaps, he will be able to lead a healthy and happy life.
