Nelson court acquits woman by reason of insanity in body-tampering case

A man’s body was found on his home’s deck, believed to have been there for up to 14 days before police arrived for an unrelated matter. The condition of the body indicated partial exposure to the elements, and it was covered with a pile of curtains. A “shrine” of personal items was reportedly created around him, with the cause of death still undetermined. A 49-year-old woman has since been charged with improperly offering an indignity to a human body.
