Since she traveled for business, she’d arranged to have her bills paid directly from her banking account.
When the money ran out, the bank moved in.
Sad to think no one cared about her and that her body sat in that garage year after year.
I’d be asking the neighbor[s] who was keeping her lawn mowed all those years, if they knew anything about this.
Very odd.
Similar story a few years ago, also out of the Detroit area.
Older guy, passed away in his easy chair while watching TV. They found his mummified remains several years later, still in the chair. The TV apparently ran and ran until the picture tube blew.
It is sad how often no one seems to notice nor care.
I think it will be found that suicide from ingesting something was the cause. The only hole in my hypothesis is why she chose the back seat of her car.
If she kept her car in an attached garage it would not be unreasonable to keep the keys in the ignition.
IMO, it is not at all odd for a neighbor to go over onto her property while he is doing his own, especially if the lots are not big. The neighbors knew that she traveled a lot.
