"CLEVELAND (AP) - Officers who went to a home to serve a search warrant found a skeleton in the bed where an 80-year-old woman said her mother was sleeping.
Police believe the remains belong to woman's 98-year-old mother, who hadn't been seen in at least three years. Officers went to the home Wednesday to serve a search warrant for building, housing and health code violations, but the woman said they couldn't come inside because her mother was sleeping. After persuading her to let them in the house, the officials pulled back the blanket on the bed and found the skeleton.
The daughter, whose name was withheld until her family was notified, was taken to St. Vincent Charity Hospital.
Cuyahoga County coroner Elizabeth Balraj said Thursday she would need more information to identify the body, which showed no signs of injury.
Police Lieut. Thomas Stacho said no charges were expected. "
She must be crazy if no charges are pending. How long did she figure mom was going to sleep for?

This brings back eerie memories of when Dad when over to Nana's only to discover that Lucy - our former family dog - had been "sleeping" for a couple of days. Hopefully this "sleeping" disease doesn't run in the family!
Hey Hilary, sounds like this poem I read in English 101, I forget what it was or who wrote it but it was almost the exact same situation. Okay, hang on, I'll look it up in my anthology. Some dead guy. Well I can't find it, but it was really gruesome. Sorry I haven't been on here in a while- busy summer.
