Police in a Chicago suburb say a 90-year-old woman has apparently been living in a house with the bodies of three siblings, one of whom may have been dead since the early 1980s.

Evanston police said the bodies were found Friday after authorities were called by a senior advocate.

Autopsies were planned but police did not suspect foul play.

The woman was taken to a hospital for observation. Her identity was not released.

The Cook County Medical Examiner’s office identified the dead as Anita Bernstorff, who was last seen alive in May 2008, Frank Bernstorff, not seen alive since 2003, and Elaine Bernstorff, who was last seen alive in the early 1980s.

Anita Bernstorff was the eldest, born in 1910.
