On a serious note, this article shows how very insular our societies have become. Its a sad statement of our times. PONTIAC, Mich. — A contractor working on a foreclosed home discovered a "mummified" body — believed to be that of the homeowner who had not been seen by neighbors for years — in the attached garage.

The body of the woman, who was in her 40s, was discovered Wednesday in the backseat of a Jeep, parked in the garage of a house on Savanna Drive, according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.

Undersheriff Mike McCabe said investigators believe that the woman has been dead since at least 2008. That's the same year the license plate on the Jeep expired.

"She had $54,000 in her account and her bills were being deducted," McCabe said. "Eventually the money ran out and her house went into foreclosure."

The undersheriff said neighbors told deputies they thought the woman had moved out of the country because they had not seen her for three or more years.

An autopsy showed there was no trauma to the body and a cause of death is pending, McCabe said.

McCabe said neighbors had complained that there was a hole in the roof of the home and that raccoons were getting in. The company that was managing the house for the mortgage holder sent a repair man to fix the roof.

"He went into the garage and saw the mummified remains in the backseat and called 911," McCabe said.

McCabe said they believe they have identified some relatives on the East Coast, but he withheld the woman's name until they could be notified.

McCabe said the electricity was still on in the house but moisture had caused black mold throughout the home. Detectives planned to wear firefighter protective suits to inspect the rest of the home, McCabe said.

Cold shower anyone? This is in Greenland; although it reminds me of our trip to Alaska a couple of years ago

WOW-has it already been a couple of years since you and your lovely Kween were in Alaska? It seems like just a few months ago! Goodness, times flies~

Good morning Q crew, hope you have a wonderful Caturday. I will be housebound as my starter on the car has conked out. Hubby is taking it down to the shop to put a new one in. The problem with my car is all the parts are very expensive, even at his cost. I think I will reel the kids into a marathon game of monopoly later on, not the best way to start the march break but better than a kick in the pants-have a good day...
