A 47-year-old man was charged Wednesday with committing an indignity to a body in connection with a suspicious death this week.
Deux-Montagnes police discovered the body inside a basement apartment on Tuesday and called in Sûreté du Québec investigators. The man was arrested Tuesday night in Saint-Eustache and appeared in court in Saint-Jerôme on Wednesday.
According to court documents the body belonged to the man's mother and it's believed she passed away over the summer. The man is accused of spending the next several months living with her decomposing body.
The man remains in custody until his next court appearance later this week.
