COSTA MESA, Calif. — Medical examiners have identified a mummified corpse that was left in a car’s passenger seat for 10 months in Southern California, a police spokesman said Friday. The Orange County coroner’s office will not release the name until next-of-kin are notified, he said.
The car’s driver befriended the homeless woman in a park in nearby Fountain Valley and told her she could sleep in the car. When she found the woman dead in the passenger seat, she was afraid to tell police.
The driver had placed a box of baking soda in the car to mask the smell and covered the body with a blanket and some clothes.
