Man keeps mother's corpse for four months dailynews.yahoo.com Thursday October 1 4:52 PM EDT NEW DELHI (Reuters) - An Indian man watched over his mother's corpse in a house for four months in the hope that she might come back to life, Press Trust of India (PTI) said on Thursday. PTI said the case had come to light when the sister of the dead woman reported to police in the western city of Jaipur that her 30-year-old nephew, Harpreet Singh, was behaving strangely. ''They later found the decaying body of Nirmal Kaur, rotting in a cot in Singh's house on the outskirts of the city,'' it said. The unemployed youth had told his aunt, who was visiting Jaipur from New Delhi, that his mother had gone to the northern city of Chandigarh for work. But when her inquiries in Chandigarh proved fruitless, the aunt approached the police. PTI quoted police as saying that Singh had stayed in his house since his mother died on May 29, with his only contacts to the outside world the local milk and newspaper sellers.
