Four adult siblings lived with the decaying body of their dead mother for over a year, authorities have said. Laronda Jolly was found under a pile of clothes by a police officer in Nashville, Tennessee. He had come to evict the four adult siblings who lived at the home before spotting the 56-year-old's corpse.

When the officer asked one of the home's occupants how long she had been dead for, they replied "Years?", reported WTVF. Medical examiner Dr Feng Li later concluded in an autopsy that Mrs Jolly had been dead for at least a year. None of her four adult children, who had learning difficulties and lived with her, had reported the death.
