A Michigan man's girlfriend's corpse "lived" with him for about a month before police found her body while performing a welfare check.
The Monroe News reported on Wednesday that 49-year-old David M. Hall, of Monroe, was arraigned last week on a charge of concealing the death of an individual.
Authorities said 56-year-old Kandace Simmons appears to have died in early December, The Associated Press reported. Officers found her body in an apartment bedroom after the landlord asked police to check on the couple.
Monroe police Lt. J.D. Wall told the newspaper that Hall didn't give a clear explanation as to why he didn't report the death.
Autopsy results are pending, but Wall says there were no obvious signs of trauma to Simmons' body.
Hall's attorney declined to comment Wednesday.
Monroe is about 35 miles south of Detroit.
