MADISONVILLE, Ohio - A Cincinnati-area family followed their grandmother's wishes and allowed her body to mummify in front of a television in their home for 2 1/2 years. Johannas Pope, 61, died sitting in her chair in an upstairs room on Aug. 29, 2003. She had instructed her family not to do any- thing with her body, as she believed she would be resurrected. Hamilton County (Ohio) coroner Dr. O'dell Owens told a news conference Monday that family members regulated heating and air conditioning as they attempted to preserve the woman's remains. They kept a window air conditioner running to keep Pope's body cool until about a month ago, when it broke, Owens said. Pope's sister, who hadn't seen the woman in years, called Cincinnati police last Wednesday and reported a dead body at the home.
