Wife of Man Found Dead in Tub Located

Wife had been missing after husband's decomposing body was found in Lake Worth home

Authorities have located the missing wife of a man whose body was found earlier this week in the couple's Lake Worth home months after he'd died.

Palm Beach County Sheriff's spokeswoman Teri Barbera said Wednesday they'd found the woman, who'd been missing since the body of her husband was found in the home in the 4300 block of Marks Way on Monday, according to the Palm Beach Post.

The woman and her husband haven't been identified, and the details of how authorities found her haven't been released.

The shocking discovery was made after the man's sister made a request for a welfare check, police said. Deputies found the body of the man, who was in his 60s, in a bathtub but there was no trace of the wife, who authorities say is legally blind.

Authorities said the body had been in the tub for several months. An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death.
