MIAMI, Florida (Reuters) -- An Oklahoma woman drove around for days with her mother's decomposing body in the passenger seat of her car, Florida investigators said Thursday.
Sheriff's deputies found the woman's body Tuesday in a car parked outside a Wal-Mart store in the northeast Florida city of Palm Coast.
The medical examiner ruled the 65-year-old woman had died of natural causes at least five days earlier.
The woman's daughter, in her mid-30s, was inside the 24-hour store, where she had been shopping since the night before. She was incoherent and unable to give a clear account of her journey to Florida, Flagler County Sheriff's investigators said.
Police went to investigate when other shoppers complained about the odor coming from the parked car.

Maybe she just wanted to drive legally in the carpool lane.

I've heard some here on FR say they wouldn't be caught dead at Wal Mart, but isn't this going to extremes?
Shop 'till you drop, or just sit there and be quiet.

Things must have been mighty "ripe" in that car.
Yikes!

This is sad,,it really is. Did she just not want to see her mom as dead? For some reason this isn't hitting my funny bone. I guess it just seems so sad to me.

You would think her daughter would have at least wrapped her in a rug and strapped her on the roof of the car like the Griswold family did in "Vacation."

She really really didn't want her dead.
