The body of a Clearwater grandmother has been taken from a storage unit where the family supposedly stored her body since 1995.

According to Clearwater Police spokesperson Joelle Castelli, the department received reports of the body found in a unit at U-Store Self Storage located at 1217 Lakeview Road in Clearwater.

According to officials, the family rented multiple units from the storage facility, but recently fell on hard times and had trouble making rent.

When the facility moved to evict the family from their units, the woman under control of the units told facility officials they couldn't evict the family because her grandmother was stored in a coffin in one of the units.

According to the grandaughter, her mother told her on her death bed that she stored her own mother in the unit in 1995.

Facility officials contacted Clearwater Police officials and officers responded to investigate the woman's claim.

When officers opened the coffin, skeletal remains of a human body were in the coffin.

Officers are now investigating the family's two other units to make sure the woman's mother who recently died isn't also stored in one of the units.

The woman who alerted officials to the body has not been arrested and charged with a crime at this time, but CPD officials said she could face charges of improper disposal of a body.
