NEW YORK - A man hoping to reconcile with his parents after years of estrangement made a grisly find: His mother may have been living with his father’s corpse for three years, police said.

When Paul Iversen went to the Brooklyn apartment Tuesday, his 73-year-old mother, Joanne, told him his father, Frank, had died, police said. She showed her son the skeletal remains of an adult man stored under bed covers in her bedroom, according to police.

The medical examiner was to conduct tests to confirm the identity of the remains, police Sgt. Mike Wysokowski said. No charges had been filed.

Neighbors said Joanne Iversen had told them her husband was away.

“I said, ‘I haven’t seen your husband,’ and she said, ‘He’s in Philadelphia.’ She told others ‘Long Island,’” said an upstairs neighbor, Vincent Clements.

Several neighbors said they had noticed a foul smell emanating from the Iversens’ first-floor apartment but couldn’t fathom the source.

“We complained a lot, but I never would have guessed there was a body inside,” neighbor Carole Clements said.

Okay, what the hell? This chick is crazy! You have to be really in love with somebody to live with their DEAD BODY for three years, or you might just be trying to cover up a murder… hmmmm?
