10 People who lived with skeletons in their closet – #1 will leave you in the shock of your life! (With pictures)

6. 90-year old living with dead siblings

The story of Margaret, Anita, Frank and Elaine Bernstoff is one of the most extreme cases of people who lived with the dead. When Elaine died, her siblings kept her body in their private and messy house in Evanston, IL. In 2003, Frank died at 83, and his corpse met the same fate, and so did Anita’s in 2008. Margaret was left alone, and she continued to be sweet with the neighbours. Like many senior American citizens, they probably carried the idea of independence too far to avoid being placed in a nursing home.
