A woman's body was found wedged upside-down behind a bookcase in the home she shared with relatives who had spent nearly two weeks looking for her.
A spokesman for the Pasco County Sheriff's Office said Mariesa Weber's death was not suspicious. Family members said they believe she fell over as she tried to adjust the plug of a television behind the bookshelf.
Weber, 38, returned home Oct. 28 and greeted her mother, then wasn't seen again. Her family thought she had been kidnapped and contacted authorities. Family members scoured her room for clues but found nothing, though they did notice a strange smell.
Late one night Weber's sister went into her bedroom and looked behind a bookcase, where she saw the woman's foot. Using a flashlight the family saw Weber was wedged upside-down behind the unit.
"I'm sleeping in the same house as her for 11 days, looking for her," her mother, Connie Weber, told the St. Petersburg Times. "And she's right in the bedroom."
Both Weber and her sister had previously adjusted the television plug by standing on a bureau next to the shelf and leaning over the top. Her family believes Weber, who was 5-foot-3 and barely 100 pounds, may have fallen headfirst into the space.
"She's a little thing," her mother said. "And the bookcase is 6 feet tall and solid. And she couldn't get out."
The sheriff's office said Weber appeared to have died because she was unable to breathe in the position she was in.
Yeah I read that too and said WTF. She was only 5' tall and maybe 100lbs or less. Like my wifes cousin, she would have NO problems calling for help or climbing out. Probable thought is she fell head first and snapped her neck preventing her from doing anything 'cept thingking "HOLY FUCK, this is how my life ends? Iam gonna be the laughing stock of America"
Sad story though

its sad, and shows how close that family really was. 11 days, man after about three hours of someone being missing- I would have gone through that house
but sad, she prolly had a neck injury then died of thirst and starvation.
That is probably how I will die.......rotting dead somewhere because my husband cant hear a damn thing. My poor child will probably be the one to find me after she wonders "where is mommy......"
Sorry, ya'll...I am in a mood. Just got back from a great holiday break, but now I have to unpack, plan my week, shop for groceries, plan Christmas shopping, decorate, blah, blah, blah......

and stunk badly.
Really? So, you would check inside of shoes, behind the toilet, and under the potted plants???? Lets face it, you wouldn't expect a missing person to be in the damn house if they were missing!.
oh yes, you must always satisfy the monkey.
