Body Non-Disposition

A woman, Johannas Pope, died about 2.5 years ago and requested that she not be buried because she was planning on making a return visit after death.

Her caretaker complied with her request when she died in August 2003.

Her body has just been discovered sitting in a chair in front of her television.

During time she was upstairs entering a mummified state, other family members continued to live downstairs.

Everything was going well until the upstairs air-conditioner quit working causing the body to decay and produce offensive odors.
