A 14-year-old boy spent four days with his mother’s body in Maharashtra’s Thane district. The 44-year-old woman died in their flat at a housing complex in the Kalyan area and the matter came to light after neighbours complained of a foul smell on the premises.
When the watchman and neighbours went to the flat on Wednesday to enquire about the stench, a boy opened the door. They found the decomposed body of his mother.

While Khadakpada police have registered an accidental death report, it has no mention of the boy’s father.
