There was an article posted about someone that worked for a large corporation and they forgot about him but continued to pay him for years.

At the time I thought it was a hoax, after your story I'm not so sure.

It was a hoax, but there are plenty of true stories in the same vein. What sets the parent's true story apart is that the protagonist did something productive with the time he had been given, whereas in the story you linked, the guy spends his days wasting away.
