Police officers found a skeleton in the bed where an 80-year-old woman said her mother was sleeping. The officers will investigate.

Police suspect the skeleton could be the remains of the woman's 98-year-old mother who disappeared more than three years ago. The officers had gone to serve a search warrant for building, housing and health code violations.

The 80-year-old refused to let them in saying her mother was sleeping. When the officers finally persuaded her and got inside, they went to into the room and pulled the blanket, only to find a skeleton under.

The woman was taken to St. Vincent Charity Hospital. Cuyahoga County Coroner Elizabeth K. Balraj says she needs more information to identify the body. Local police officers say no charges are expected for the daughter.
