Authorities in Lower Bavaria are investigating an 82-year-old woman in connection with the discovery of a mummified body found in her home. The body is believed to have been in the house for several years before being discovered earlier this month. Police have not yet determined the exact timeline of how long the body had been there or a definitive cause of death for the deceased, who was born in 1922.

The investigation has raised suspicions regarding possible pension fraud, as the daughter may have continued to collect pension payments for her mother after her death. This has prompted the Criminal Police and the public prosecutor’s office to delve deeper into the case. The daughter has reportedly admitted herself to a specialist clinic following the discovery, indicating she is likely dealing with the emotional or legal ramifications of the situation.

While initial reports suggest that there were no signs of violent death found on the mother, the uncertainty surrounding her cause of death remains a critical point in the investigation. Law enforcement officials continue to gather evidence as they piece together the timeline and circumstances that led to this unsettling discovery in Ruhmannsfelden.
