Evanston police are investigating why a 90-year-old woman was apparently living in a home with three dead siblings—one of which is believed to have died in the early 1980s.
How and when the siblings died and their ages were still being determined Friday, said Evanston police Cmdr. Tom Guenther. The bodies were found Friday morning in a large home on the 1200 block of Judson Avenue, he said.
“We know we have three deceased people,†Guenther said. “We don’t know how their deaths occurred.â€
Anita Bernstorff, born in 1910, Frank Bernstorff, born in 1920 and Elaine Bernstorff, born in 1916 were all pronounced dead in the home Friday afternoon, a spokesman for the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office said. Their exact ages could not be determined because it was not clear how long they were dead in the home.
Anita Bernstorff was last seen alive in May of 2008, Frank Bernstorff was last seen alive in April of 2003 and Elaine Bernstorff was last seen alive in the early 1980s, authorities said.
The Bernstorff’s are believed to have died from natural causes, but autopsies are scheduled for Saturday. At least two of the bodies were skeletons and the third was very badly decomposed, according to authorities.

Sounds like she was overwhelmed. Shame there were no family or friends able to help her.

Stories like this intrigue me. How does one autopsy a skeleton, I wonder?

Don't you ever watch Bones? That is all the lead does.

Did all three die at once? I'd say chances where no, so why did the others not want to properly handle the remains as well?

Why does the final scene from "Happy Birthday to Me" come to mind?

I've seen "Bones" (it irritated me). Looking at a bag-O-bones shouldn't be called an autopsy. It is more like archeology.

^anthropology (forensic) to be exact. Forensic pathology would be for remains that still have tissue.
Yeah, I can't figure this one out. If they didn't all die at the same time, why didn't anyone call for help? There must be some mental illness there.

I must think the worst of people - the first thing that crossed my mind was collecting the monthly checks.

Just in case, you should check to see if those corpses in the chairs in your basement have skin. Having the right specialist is important.
