TORONTO —
An elderly spinster kept the corpse of her sister seated for almost two months in front of the television she was apparently watching when she died.
Police, acting on a tip from suspicious neighbors, forced their way into the Hoyle sisters’ home Wednesday night and found the body of 67-year-old Marion wrapped in a blanket and seated in front of the television.
Her 71-year-old sister Florence was carried out by police and is undergoing psychiatric treatment.
