COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Police have launched an investigation after discovering that a Southern California woman drove around for months with a homeless woman's mummified body in her passenger seat.

Costa Mesa police said Thursday they discovered the body after receiving a call about a car that was blocking a driveway.

Sgt. Ed Everett says officers noticed a stench from the car and found the body covered in a blanket.

He says the woman who drives the car told police she let the homeless woman sleep in her car and one morning found she had died inside.

The driver was afraid to contact police.

Everett tells The Orange County Register the remains were partially mummified and could have been in the car anywhere from three to 10 months.

There are no signs of foul play.

I expected based on the title that a homeless guy got trapped in the cars trunk somehow and the woman just never opened the trunk. I did not expect a dead body in the passenger seat that had been rotting next to here for up to 10 months with nothing but a blanket tossed over it.

Oh what some people will do to be able to drive in the HOV lane!

The homeless woman possibly died of natural causes.
The female driver was just too stupid to call the police.

Can't imagine the smell: homeless + dead + summer heat..... bleh....
 
Wow. I can't even imagine.

That's crazy that the body mummified and didn't turn into a pile of goop, though.

Must be a dry area.

Not really, it's 2 miles from the beach, give or take. I used to live a few blocks away from where it happened, saw it on the news a week ago or so.
 
Bodies in the passenger seat? That's stupid. You're supposed to roll the body up in an area rug and shove it in the trunk.
