We limit the amount of real life horror stories around here because, well, real life is horrendous enough without having to peek into those very dark corners of humanity. As a result only the most deranged and obscure happenings make it to our pages. Such as …
According to The Arizona Daily Star indie horror filmmaker Timothy Fattig of Desert Screams Productions was arrested yesterday after the skeletal remains of his mother, who had passed away a year prior, were found in their home.
A Tombstone man was arrested Wednesday after authorities found the decomposed body of a woman believed to be his mother inside her home. The Tombstone Marshal’s Office received a call Wednesday to do a welfare check on Jill Fattig, 68, at her home in Tombstone, said Marshal Billy Cloud. A deputy went to the home, but when no one answered the door, he went to question the woman’s son, Timothy Fattig.
Fattig, 34, told the deputy that his mother was at a hospital in Tucson. When the deputy found this was not the case, he went back to Fattig, who eventually told him his mother had died about a year go. After obtaining a search warrant, deputies found the skeletal remains of a woman inside Jill Fattig’s home, Cloud said.
Timothy Fattig was arrested on suspicion of negligent homicide and booked into the Cochise County Jail on a $40,000 bond. Fattig told deputies that when he found his mother dead, he was so overcome with grief he never reported her death. Fattig had been telling people around Tombstone for several months that his mother was in a hospital in Tucson, Cloud said.
If an autopsy finds that the woman died of natural causes, any charge against Fattig will likely be downgraded to failure to report a death, a misdemeanor, Cloud said.”
