In a grim discovery this past weekend, Bloomfield Township police found a "highly decomposed" body at a residence during a welfare check. The body was identified as a woman's, and police encountered her 57-year-old husband at the scene in a state of distress. This information comes via a report from FOX 2 Detroit, which detailed the involvement of crisis negotiators and the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team in the incident on Hedgewood Drive.
The situation unfolded yesterday, according to ClickOnDetroit, when police officers were dispatched to perform a routine welfare check. Upon arrival, they discovered the decaying remains and the distressed family member, whose identity has not been disclosed. The family member was subsequently taken into protective custody. It's believed that he had been living alongside the deceased for a substantial amount of time; however, the exact duration is yet to be confirmed.
Authorities are thoroughly investigating the circumstances surrounding the death, though no immediate signs of foul play have been detected. This assessment aligns with the findings from Bloomfield Township police, as reported by MLive. The identity of the deceased woman is being withheld until her family can be notified.
