Robert Harris; Vietnam vet robbed in death

| March 25, 2017

Robert Harris was a Vietnam veteran who was living with the Sorohan family in Wainwright, Ohio until a few months ago when apparently he passed on to the next life. The Sorohan family decided that they wouldn’t tell Social Security and Veterans’ Affairs about Harris’ passing so they could continue to get his benefits, according to the Times Reporter;

On Tuesday, Harris’ decomposing body was discovered inside the home, lying among trash. According to Tuscarawas County Sheriff Orvis Campbell, his office received information about a week ago that Harris was staying at the home. People who knew Harris had become concerned after not seeing him for a long time. Authorities learned the Sorohan family spread the story that Harris had moved to the Stark County area and that he allowed them to use his Social Security benefits.

Harris is estimated to have been dead for several months, which is about the same amount of time he has been considered missing, Campbell said.

“They had to walk by him every day, multiple times a day,” said next-door neighbor Jill France. “I can’t understand that.”

Brian D. Sorohan and Stacy L. Sorohan and their daughter, Brianna D. Sorohan were arrested on Wednesday for gross abuse of a corpse and theft of a credit card, both fifth-degree felonies; and failure to report a knowledge of death, a fourth-degree misdemeanor.g

In Dante’s “Inferno”, betrayers are assigned to the ninth and last circle of Hell, the darkest place most far away from Heaven.

We had a similar case where a WWII vet died in New Yawk State and his caregivers brought the body to Arkansas in a trunk and left it in a field. They were caught and said it was to continue claiming his benefits.

I think that story was highlighted here a week or two ago. Disgusting!

Yep, Thought this was the same story too until I read “They had to walk by him every day, multiple times a day,” said next-door neighbor Jill France. “I can’t understand that.”
And yes, completely disgusting. At least Robert Harris can now rest in piece. And may Brian D. Sorohan, Stacy L. Sorohan and their daughter, Brianna D. Sorohan rest in pieces.

Why haven’t they been charged with fraud for using his benifits? Credit card theft doesn’t seem to touch on what they did.

The Old Maj

They likely will be. That is a Federal charge though and will take some time.

Retired Grunt

Stories like this make me so damned infuriated, those people didn’t deserve to sniff his sweaty ball sack, let alone touch that man’s earned VA and social security.. sorry.

Have they located his family? Wife and I will say a prayer because nobody else seems to care about a fallen brother.

Revolting behavior. This transends all barriers and goes to base. Unfathomable what motivates/FAILS to motivate “people”….

Filthy rotten scumbag vermin. How is it he came to be living with them, anyway? I’m with James Pritchett (above)–where is his family? Are they all gone?
