Johannas Pope's body was found last week in the upstairs of her home. She died two-and-a-half years ago at age 61.

The coroner says an air conditioner left running allowed the body to slowly mummify, while some family members continued to live downstairs.

That's kinda creepy. (I use "kinda" loosely here)

I wish that article had more information.

Was her dead body just left there by the caregiver because she didn't want to be buried or did she die without anyone noticing?
 
Ya know -
if grandma hasnt come down stairs in two years, Id start noticing that something wasnt right. dear lord....

A similar situation happened to a former coworker of mine many years ago in Littleton, CO. A thirty something obese loner that lived across the street never got up out of his easy chair to turn off the TV. Three weeks of mail and newspaper coupled with the olfactory presentation got someone motivated to call the police.
 
heh...the way the thread was titled, for some reason I thought some lady was mummified on live TV or something...
 
Maybe they werent on good terms with her and they never spoke so they didnt know she was dead.

-or-

Maybe they killed her.

-or-

Maybe the story is an freshly birthed urban legend.


The strange thing for me is...

If my mom didnt call for a week, I would be worried, but a day or possibly two... I would be joyful (sorry mom.) I can only imagine how difficult my mom will be by the time she is 80... but she's my mom!!! I cant imagine the circumstances that would allow me to be in this situation.
 
I know this is an old one but I wanted to comment on this.

This happened near where I live...
Apparently the family would still go up there and "visit" her and talk to her for those 2.5 years shes been deceased. The deceased was still getting mail, and neighbors would ask how Ms. so and so was doing... quite a strange deal...
 
I bet she kept getting a check each month A definite reason to keep her around ya think?

Was the family crazy, or just stupid... did they really think she was still alive?
 
There's no way they couldn't have known she was dead, I bet GaEMT is right it's all about those checks.
