Woman Lives With Dead Sister For 3 Years

Detroit police said they believe an elderly woman has been living with the corpse of her dead sister on her kitchen floor - possibly for the last three years.

Investigators said the corpse was partially mummified and portions of the body appeared to have been eaten by a dog and cat living at the residence.

Police said the woman - who appeared to be suffering from mental problems - was taken to a crisis center for treatment. They said they made a visit to the home after a neighbor phoned police to report she had not seen the deceased woman for a long time.
