A woman and her daughter lived with her mother's corpse for three years, police say. The mother fell in 2016 and had what should have been non-life threatening injuries, but wasn't given adequate assistance, according to police.
After finding skeletal remains in the residence, investigators believe Delissa Navonne Crayton's 71-year-old mother fell in 2016, hit her head and died a few days later while lying on the floor. According to police, the fall was non-life threatening, but Crayton did not provide adequate assistance to her mother.
The remains were located in one room of the home, while Crayton and her daughter lived in the second bedroom, police said. Investigators said they're awaiting final confirmation to identify the remains.
