Woman lives in home with dead son for nine months

17-05-2025 02:40 PM


Ammon News - A former doctor lived for nine months with the mummified remains of her 600-pound son — in “extreme-hoarding conditions” in their garbage-filled home infested with vermin, according to disturbing reports.

Police were alerted to the New Orleans house of Barbara Hainsworth, a former doctor whose license was revoked a decade ago, after repeated complaints from neighbors over odors and vermin, WDSU reported.

When cops finally entered, they found the horrific conditions — including a fully mummified body.

“That’s my son,” she allegedly told police of the remains confirmed to be her 31-year-old son Charles Hainsworth. “He died about nine months ago.”

The cause of death is still under investigation, Nola.com reported — with sources saying the dead son weighed at least 600 pounds.

Cops also found trash, chicken feces, holes in the floor, and said the house in the Lakeview neighborhood was overrun with flies and bugs, according to WDSU.

Barbara was referred to as a “mentally disabled elderly woman” in citations over her property, Nola.com reported.

The house of horrors was immediately condemned by code enforcement as a health hazard, according to the outlet. NYP
