CANTON, Mich. -- Canton police said they are investigating the death of a young woman whose body was in an apartment for at least three weeks.
A tip call sent police to an apartment complex on Heathmore Court.
Police said two people had been living in the apartment with the body, and a 28-year-old woman was home at the time police arrived. At first, police said the woman would not let them into the apartment so they had to force entry.This ad zapped.
The odor in the apartment was very strong, police said.
An officer said he noticed a silhouette of a body under a blanket and some clothing.
Police obtained a search warrant and Canton's evidence technician unit was at the scene.
An investigation is under way, and police said the woman has been cooperative with police.
The body was transported to the Wayne County medical examiner for an autopsy, police said. Until police get the results of the autopsy, Sgt. Rick Pomorski said they can't confirm the Canton apartment is a crime scene.
"We don't know how this person died," Pomorski said. "We have a hunch, but that's all we have."
