Gross Here a few years ago a granddaughter and her boyfriend failed to report the granmother passed away because they lived with her and her SS supported them, she was on the couch where they sat with her and watched TV. They poured perfume on her to cover the smell and police said she was pretty much mummified.

Oh that's just nasty. I was going to ask, even IF he didn't kill her himself, what kind of sick freak lets his mother's dead body decompose inside her home for over a year? I hadn't considered there might have been a financial motive.
I hope a real-life "Bones" can definitively determine cause of death and this cretin gets what's coming to him.
People living with the corpses of deceased loved ones, for at least some period of time like a few days to a few weeks, is way more common than people think. It goes on every day in every city.
It has to do with people in grief and/or denial,and is rarely the creepy or gory situation people want to believe. That is to say, the surviving family (usually an elderly spouse or lone family member) is not dressing the corpse or talking to it. Usually the corpse is just left in the room where they died with the door closed or whatever. It is uncommon but not unusual.

Sorry, but that's sick. My mother died at home and we called the police when we found her immediately.

My wife's dad spent 3? 5? days in their home in his temporary casket before we took him to the crematorium. He was placed in font of the shrine. The temporary casket has a glass covered opening above his face, so you can look down at the dead man. The casket is packed with dry ice and usually kept closed. Sometimes people would drop by and put something in the casket that he liked, like a baseball card, or such. He really loved baseball.
My mom told me when she was a young girl, they used to keep the body in the living room and "stay up with the dead." through the first nght of death. I have no idea WTF that was all about, but it sounds like the beginning of a pretty good horror movie.

It was determined natural causes, they never went into any deep details but they didn't press charges in the death but i think there was charges over the social security money they were spending of the deceased.
