A Kentucky man called 911 to report the death of his wife, but when first responders arrived, they noticed she had actually been dead for “seven to 10 days.”

Tyler Hern, 42, told 911 dispatchers on Feb. 3 that his wife, Laura Hern, 37, “had been sick for about four weeks” and that he needed an ambulance, according to reporting by WLWT, a local NBC affiliate. He also told dispatchers, “My wife’s dead.” When police arrived at the couple’s home in Highland Heights, which is near the Ohio border some eight miles south of Cincinnati, they found Laura’s body in the bedroom, lying on the bed, showing “obvious signs of decomposition.”
