If Brendan Fraser’s short-lived career as a Hollywood action hero battling ancient Egyptian curses has taught us anything, it’s that when it comes to scary-looking corpses, you can’t beat mummies.
And in the modern world, it seems mummy still knows best (about embalming dead bodies at least) after a mother in New York kept her son’s rotting corpse in her apartment for up to eight years. For Hitchcock fans, it’s a reverse Psycho.
The body of the son was only discovered when his mother was taken to hospital after a fall. A relative returned to the house in Brooklyn and found the remains before calling police.
Apparently the man, clearly not the most popular of guys, was a former cab driver, and was terminally ill when he died aged in his 50s of natural causes.
“She never said hello. She [was] always walking down the street with a grocery bag,” said a neighbour. “She would walk looking down. Something about her always seemed a little weird.”
No shit.
