Man dead for nearly 2 years found mummified and sitting in chair inside home


Jackson police and prosecutors are considering charges against a woman who kept her dead boyfriend inside their Cooper Street home for nearly two years.

On July 6, police found Charles William Zigler dead, covered up in a living room chair. A medical examiner determined Zigler died of natural causes sometime around Christmas 2010.

Born in 1943, Zigler was 67 when he died.

Concerned that they had not seen Zigler for some time, family members asked Jackson police officers to check on him. An officer and sergeant went to his house in the 300 block of Cooper Street.

A 71-year-old woman, Zigler's girlfriend, let the officers inside the house. Officers found Zigler sitting in a chair. The body was mummified but would not release further details on the condition of the body.
