The fully-dressed skeletal remains of an adult man were found inside the home of a blind woman, whose home was so full of trash, one officer said it looked like 'a garbage truck had dumped its load'.
Elderly Brooklyn woman Rita Wolfensohn was found living with the skeletal remains of her son earlier this month.
It is possible she was living with the corpse for as many as 20 years, the
New York Post reported.
Relatives were taking Wolfensohn to the hospital when the son's remains were found.

After an investigation into the home, officials believe Wolfensohn most likely didn't know she was living with her son's remains.
The room the body was in was filled with garbage and cobwebs.
Officers said the room smelled of rotting food but there was not an odor of rotting flesh.
Police said Wolfensohn believed her son had moved out.

The woman had two children - a son who died in 2003 at age 38. Her other son Louis, who would have been almost 50, has not been seen in 20 years.
