Michigan Man Lived With Dead Woman For Month: Police
Police say they do not suspect foul play in the woman's death, but wonder why he kept her body.

MONROE, MI – Police are puzzling over why a 49-year-old man didn't report the death of his girlfriend – for the past four weeks – but continued to live with her. The woman, identified as Kandace Simmons, was found dead in the apartment they shared, according to a report.
Police are waiting to hear back from the Wayne County Medical Examiner's office, but suspect foul play was not involved in her death, according to a report in The Detroit News. Police have charged the man with concealing the death of an individual, the newspaper reported.
