Man lives with wife's corpse for six months after her death

[UrbScotty]

A 64-year-old Michigan man has been charged with living with the dead body of a woman in his trailer for several months.

Court officers serving an eviction notice Monday saw the body of Ann Marquis, 72, in her Redford Township home, according to a release issued Friday by police. Although investigators said they believe she died of natural causes, they arrested her roommate of three years, Dennis McCauley, who they believed lived with her decomposing body for several months.

McCauley was arraigned Friday in District Court in Redford Township on nine felony charges, including one count each of possessing a dead body, identity theft, conducting an illegal financial transaction, concealing the death of an individual, larceny between $1,000 and $20,000 and illegally possessing a credit card.

Prosecutors claim he failed to report Marquis' death, allowed her body to decay, used her credit card, stole her personal property and cashed her Social Security checks.
