Detroit police opened an investigation after mummified remains were found in the garage of an occupied home.

The body was entombed in the backseat of a dust-covered Plymouth that was 25 or 26-years-old.

It appears the body had been there for years and was beyond the decomposition stage.

It's unclear to cops at this point who the dead person is or how he or she died and when.

There may be answers when the autopsy is performed this week. Police want to interview the property owner and to track down records that would show who lived in the house in the past and who registered the car.

In addition, the station reported, that the car was seized as evidence.

Well, thank goodness they seized the car!
