Mummified Body, 300 Urine Bottles Discovered in San Francisco Home
The mummified corpse of a San Francisco woman was found buried under "mounds of trash" in her home on Saturday, surrounded by bugs, rats and hundreds of bottles of urine, the L.A. Times reports. Authorities do not suspect foul play.
“I’m hearing that there were rats, spiders, dog feces and trash just everywhere, in some cases piled to the ceiling,” Richmond District Supervisor Eric Mar told the San Francisco Chronicle. “The police captains I’ve spoken with tell me this is the worst case of hoarding they have ever seen.”
According to Mar aide Victor Lim, the woman is believed to have been in her 90s when she died at least five years ago in the house she shared with her 65-year-old daughter.
“I’m saddened that she couldn’t let her mother go,” a neighbor told KPIX 5 News. “I saw her 3 days ago and I asked her, ‘Is your mother still with us?’ And she said ‘Yes.’ Delusional. She was with her. She was, she was still with her.”
