Woman spent months living with husband's body

PASADENA -- Police and coroner's officials are investigating an elderly man's death after his badly decomposed body was found inside the home he shared with his wife.
The name of the dead man was not released pending notification of family members, officials said.
The man appeared to have been dead for two to four months, Pasadena police Lt. Randell Taylor said.
Officers responded to a house in the 1200 block of North Allen Avenue about 1:30 p.m. after neighbors reported they hadn't seen the residents in weeks and were concerned, the lieutenant said.
A woman estimated to be in her mid-70s answered the doors and was reluctant to let officers in her house, Taylor said.
When police entered, they found the body of the woman's husband lying on a couch near the front door, he said.
While no foul play was suspected Thursday, the body was sent to the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner where investigators will determine the man's cause of death, Taylor said.
The woman appeared to be in the advanced stages of dementia, he said.
