Decomposing Body Found In Dead Woman’s Closet

by Earl Morningstarr

The daughter of Beatrice Magaha from Charles Town, West Virginia, was clearing the contents of her recently deceased mother’s house when to her horror she discovered the rotting remains of a woman hidden in her mother’s closet.

Mrs Magaha died on the 2nd April 2008 from head injuries when she had a stroke and fell to the ground hitting her head. The next day her daughter and husband alerted police to a nauseous smell coming from Mrs Magaha’s closet. On investigating the body of an elderly woman was found, stuffed inside a sleeping bag.

Mrs Magaha had shared her home with an elderly woman, but she has been unseen for almost two years. Autopsy reports showed no signs of foul play, but the police are treating the case as suspicious.

A DNA sample has been taken to try to identify the corpse.
