The new owner of a Maryland home was in for a disturbing discovery when they discovered the body of the previous resident inside months after the home was foreclosed.

“Especially when her grandmother passed away, that’s what made us come over and just make sure everything was cool — she had food, she had rides to the store, things like that,” the neighbor added.

After her grandmother died, another caregiver and relatives started helping the woman, but they also reportedly stopped showing up months ago, leading neighbors to believe that the woman was “gone with the family.”

“I know they cut utilities,” the neighbor recalled to the outlet. “I know there’s no power in there. I’m not sure if there was water in there, but I’m pretty sure if they cut the electricity, they cut the heat, too.”

Eventually, the new owners moved into the Maryland property and found the unidentified woman’s body — leaving neighbors stunned.

The District Heights Police Department and thePrince George‘s County Police Department did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
