BIG SANDY (October 15, 2009)--A 45-year-old Texas woman who lived in an apartment for a week with the body of her dead boyfriend has been committed for mental evaluation.
The Tyler Morning Telegraph reports Big Sandy police were flagged down by a man Friday who reported a stench coming from his sister's apartment.
Inside, police found William Drake, 50, lying dead on a couch.
From the condition of the corpse, police believe he had been dead for about a week.
The woman told officers Drake "didn't want to leave the apartment,” according to police Lt. Van Burr.
Burr said Drake had recently stopped dialysis treatments and died of natural causes.
He said Drake had lived for 10 years with the woman, who had been hospitalized for mental illness before.
Burr declined to reveal her name.
Big Sandy is about 100 miles east of Dallas.

This is not the total story. Sorry folks!!
When I first saw the headline I was thinking what is with this rash of people being found with corpses. But unlike the other story this one is just sad.
Poor thing. She may not have even been checked on for over a week while watching her friend die then dealing with his death. Bereavement stretches mental health of even those who do not have mental illness. Her grief must be compounded. May God be with her.
