Woman Found Dead in Her Garage For Six Years

[Chris]

For years, the payments went out of the woman's bank account. Nobody batted an eyelid. Bills were paid. And life went on as normal in the quiet neighborhood of Pontiac, Michigan. Neighbors didn't notice anything unusual. The woman traveled a lot, they said, and kept to herself. One of them mowed her grass to keep things looking tidy. At some point, her bank account ran dry. The bills stopped being paid. After its warnings went unanswered, the bank holding the mortgage foreclosed on the house, a common occurrence in a region hit hard by economic woes.

Still, nobody noticed what had happened inside the house. Nobody wondered out loud what had become of the owner. Not until this week, when a worker sent by the bank to repair a hole in the roof made a grisly discovery. The woman's mummified body was sitting in the backseat of her car, parked in the garage. The key was halfway in the ignition. Authorities say they believe the woman died at least six years ago. They're still trying to figure out what happened. "I've been doing this 37 years. Never seen anything like this before," said Undersheriff Mike McCabe of Oakland County, Michigan, just outside Detroit.

That's just fucking crazy and really hard to believe. This woman had to distance herself from everyone and have no relationships with anybody for no one to realize she was dead for six years.

She traveled alot so I'm guessing that her neighbors assumed that she was gone for most of that time? I've always wondered how long someone anti-social could be dead without anyone noticing, kind of scary that she managed to go 6 years without anyone realizing.

Shes dead guess nobody cared.

She must've had quite a bit of money as well for all her bills and everything to be paid for all those years as well. But still... 6 years?

Dying is bad enough but dying to have no one even notice has got to be the worst.
