BROOKLYN CENTER, MN – A distressing scene unfolded in a quiet Brooklyn Center, Minnesota neighborhood when police entered a house and found a 73-year-old woman’s lifeless body, left untouched for weeks. The startling case centers on a 55-year-old woman now facing serious legal consequences after authorities say she kept her mother’s corpse inside their shared residence, anticipating a supernatural event — like a divine resurrection — to bring her back.

Felony Charge Filed in Hennepin County

This week, prosecutors in Hennepin County charged the woman with one felony count of interfering with a dead body.

The charge stems from an incident reported on December 30, 2022, when officers responded to a call at a home on the 3000 block of 56th Avenue North.

The initial report indicated an elderly woman was unconscious and not breathing, but what police encountered was far graver.

Body Left for Weeks

Upon arrival, officers determined the woman had been deceased for an estimated one to two months, based on the advanced state of decomposition.

The defendant, who lived with her mother and acted as her sole caregiver, admitted the death occurred in November. She explained she hadn’t alerted authorities because she believed a divine intervention would revive her mother.

She also revealed she stopped administering her mother’s medications for conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure, opting instead for natural remedies.

Ex-Husband’s Grim Find

The situation came to light after the woman’s ex-husband, who resided in the home’s basement, grew suspicious.

He noticed a persistent foul odor wafting through the house and decided to investigate when his ex-wife was away. His search led him upstairs, where he encountered the body and promptly contacted police.

Autopsy Reveals Health Clues

An autopsy couldn’t pinpoint the exact cause or manner of the mother’s death, but it identified contributing factors such as untreated hypertension, hypothyroidism, and dementia. Blood tests further confirmed the absence of prescribed medications in her system, aligning with the daughter’s account of withholding treatment.

This troubling case continues to unfold as the legal process moves forward.
