Indonesian family lived with dead relatives to 'bring them back to life': In a bizarre case, an Indonesian family lived with the bodies of two dead relatives in the hope that keeping their corpses could bring them back to life, police said on Wednesday. The incident came to light after a medical office on a routine visit tipped off authorities after 77-year-old Neneng Hatidjah refused to let the officer inside the house. The house was emitting a strange smell that triggered the doubt even more. The local authorities forced their way in the home, upon entering they found the nearly skeletal bodies of Hatidjah's deceased husband and daughter covered with cloth. After about a three long drive, the police found dozens of perfume bottles and coffee powder around the remains of the bodies. One of the remains was of Hatidjah's husband, who died in December at the age of 85, and the other was of her 50-year-old daughter, who had been dead for two years. Hatidjah said she heard whispers that if she took care of the dead bodies, they would come back to life," local police spokesman Hari Suprapto told. The septuagenarian was not charged but police said they're investigating whether foul play may have been involved.-
