Til Death and Beyond?

Cook County authorities are a bit baffled by what they found when a senior advocate asked police to check on a 90-yr old woman under their watch. It seems the woman's three siblings had all died and their bodies were still in the house where she was living. One of them hadn't been seen since the early 80s! The woman was taken to the hospital for observation, but they don't suspect foul play. They do want to know why no one reported any of the deaths as they occurred. http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/1-11082008-1618205.html You do have to wonder about the mental state of someone who continues living with a corpse. Especially for over 20 years! And, given the last dates two of the siblings were seen, you have to wonder about the lot of them since it appears they ALL lived with one body for at least 20 years. I feel bad for this woman. I don't know what was wrong that she felt she couldn't tell anyone, but maybe it was that she would have felt too alone? Were the other siblings living with her at the time the first one died? Or did they move in afterwards? What do you think? Did you hear about this story?
