A sibling's corpse on the floor apparently didn't stop one drug-addled woman from being the life of the party.
When 50-year-old Sindi Lee Baker died of an apparent heroin overdose Oct. 7, Michigan cops say her sister and a male friend kept partying - and didn't stop for two days, the Detroit News reports.
Baker's sister, who cops declined to identify, and paroled felon Joseph Loehnis initially thought Baker had passed out at the home in Sterling Heights, about 30 miles north of Detroit. They covered the woman’s body with a blanket and adorned the corpse with a cross and plastic rose before realizing she was dead, the paper reported.
Police were reportedly alerted to the body on Oct. 9 by a drug-counseling center near Baker’s home, where cops found her in one of the bedrooms.
"It is a sad, bizarre and weird story," Lt. Michael Torey of the Warren Police Department told the Detroit News.
The drug-fueled duo briefly mulled a plan to stash the corpse in a car and ditch the dead sister in Detroit, but soon abandoned the plot, cops said.
"At that time, they were also high," Torey said.
The sister told cops she'd used drugs with Baker on the day of her death, but criminal charges against either her or Lohenis are unlikely because they never ditched the corpse, cops said.
