She Kept Boyfriend's Corpse To Watch NASCAR

"A woman said she kept the dead body of her companion in a chair in their southern Michigan house for months because she didn’t want to be alone. Linda Chase, 72, said she kept the remains of Charles Zigler clean and dressed and talked to the body while watching NASCAR on television," according to THIS New York Daily News article. "Jackson police discovered Zigler’s body in a living room chair last week. Authorities believe he died of natural causes at age 67 in December 2010, although Chase said it was last December. She said there wasn’t a bad smell."

But Like the best of this sort of news, there's a story behind the story.

"She has not been arrested but is being investigated for financial fraud. Chase admits cashing Zigler’s benefit checks after his death."
