Salem man had been living with dead wife for years
Summary: man dies after not seeking medical attention for a stroke; his son informs officers that the body of his mother (the deceased man's wife) has been in an RV on their property since she passed, 6 years ago. Yep, she is...wrapped in a blanket and surrounded by herbs.
This is local to me, I've driven past this home (I didn't even know there was a farm behind it) hundreds of time. Curious to see whether the son sees any charges, the article makes it sound like he knew about it. They are claiming it was to follow religious (Quaker) beliefs, but other locals with Quaker ancestors are chiming in, saying that's not Quaker tradition.
Incidentally, MSM initially reported
