Woman lives with mummified sister..wtf

[kane9321]

The partially mummified body of an elderly woman has been found on the kitchen floor of a house where her mentally troubled sister was living, police said.

Investigators believe the surviving sister had been living with the body for up to three years. They say the body was partially covered with newspapers and that a cat and dog apparently ate part of it.

The Detroit Free Press says authorities removed the surviving sister Wednesday night and took her to a crisis center. She is also aged in her 80s and appears to have mental problems.

Police say they went to the house after a neighbor called to express concern.

Concerned neighbour: 'Excuse me, I'm concerned. There's a dead body on my neighbours floor, and she's being eatened by teh dog!'

How could she have lived with a corpse on her floor for 3 years?

She is also aged in her 80s and appears to have mental problems.

*appears* Gee, what tipped them off?

This reminds me of a story out of the UK; an elderly man had been living with a dead body for 10 years. When it was finally discovered, he said he had forgotten it was there. The guy died sitting on the sofa and a few years in, he simply tipped the sofa over so he didn't have to see it.

The really distressing part is that these people, so obviously unstable, are living this way and apparently nobody knows or checks in on them. It's very sad.
