In Ruhmannsfelden, Bavaria, Germany, a macabre discovery was made in early February 2026 when police found the mummified body of a 103-year-old woman. The woman's 82-year-old daughter allegedly concealed her mother's death for several years to continue receiving a monthly pension of approximately 1,500 euros. The mayor's attempts to visit the centenarian for her birthday, starting from her 95th, were repeatedly declined by the daughter, who cited her mother's fragile health. Suspicion led to a police search of the residence, revealing the deceased woman. An autopsy could not determine the cause or date of death. The daughter is now under investigation for fraud and has been admitted to a specialized clinic.
