CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) -- The manager of U-Stor Self Storage heard a bizarre tale when he notified a woman that the items stored in Unit B8 would be auctioned because she'd fallen behind on rent.
Manager Kevin McKeon says the woman told him her grandmother was inside the storage unit. Clearwater police on Thursday found skeletal remains inside a blue coffin stored there.
The woman told police her mother told her about the remains as she was on her deathbed last year.
Police recovered death certificate for the woman, who died in 1995.
Medical examiners told police the grandmother's body had been properly processed for burial but it was unclear why the casket was in the storage unit.
Police say they don't believe she died under suspicious circumstances.
