Storage unit used as burial plot for FL grandmother

CLEARWATER, FL (WFLX) - The manager of U-Stor Self Storage heard a bizarre tale when he notified a woman 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 Tampa Bay Times reports 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. Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
