What's that smell?

The age of a corpse

The mummified, almost skeletal remains of a 38-year-old woman, who is thought to have died in November 2017, were found in her home over three years later, in May 2021. It's a sad and tragic case of mental illness, abandonment, and agencies' neglect.

So I feel bad that the first thought that came to mind was in which of those two years was she actually 38? Probably the former, but I dunno. (shrug)
