Q: BROOKLINE (CBS) – Everyone it appears knows one particular home in the 100 block of Clinton Road in Brookline. 
  
 “We always jokingly called it the haunted house,” said neighbor Rebecca Berman. 
  
 But, no one knew the sisters who lived here their entire lives. 
  
 “One of my neighbors said she didn’t actually realize anyone lived there,” said Berman. 
  
 The District Attorney’s office says for more than a year the older sister lived in the house with the body of her younger 67-year old sister decomposing in the kitchen. 
  
 A relative made the discovery mid-December. Police had to tell the other sister of the death even though she was still living in the house. 
  
 “It’s profoundly sad,” said neighbor Harriet Allen. 
  
 Allen lives next door and in years gone by used to know the sisters. 
  
 “One day last summer three policeman came to my door. I don’t remember why they were there. And, I came downstairs and I said what you need is the health department and they said ‘I guess you’re right.’ Period.” 
  
 A while ago the sisters boarded up the front of their house. The D.A.’s office says there was also a hoarding issue. 
  
 Dr. Kimberly Glazier Leonte specializes in hoarding. She said pushing people away is a classic sign, as the hoarder is often embarrassed. She said there are reasons the sister may have lived with the body. 
  
 “They are not aware. They are afraid if they go tell authorities,” said Dr. Glazier Leonte. 
  
 Occasionally, neighbors said people would call the city about the dead tree out front, or the disrepair. 
  
 “They came and looked at the house and they saw the state of disrepair, someone is responsible or irresponsible,” said Allen. 
  
 “They didn’t really want help though, some of the neighbors had offered to take care of their yard and they had refused,” said Berman. 
  
 The D.A’s office says foul play is not suspected. The sister who died had a history of illness. ||||| Starting in 1996, Alexa Internet has been donating their crawl data to the Internet Archive.

 Hope Wheaton and her older sister, Lynda Waldman, grew up together in a stately Brookline home, where they lived quietly by themselves until Wheaton, 67, vanished about a year and a half ago. 
  
 Neighbors on Clinton Road took notice and began asking Waldman, 74, about her sister. 
  
 “We always asked where she was,” said Harriet Allen, a neighbor on the street and longtime friend of Wheaton’s. “She would ignore it.”

 Then a cousin of the sisters made a startling discovery last month during a visit to their home at 122 Clinton Road: Wheaton lay dead in the kitchen of the $1.2 million house amid heavy clutter.

 Her body was in a state of significant decomposition, officials said Wednesday. 
  
 The circumstances of Wheaton’s death, including how long her body was in the home, are under investigation. 
  
 But the body’s condition “was consistent with a report” that she died in the summer of 2015, said David Traub, a spokesman for Norfolk District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey. 
  
 Traub did not say who provided that report to law enforcement officials. He also did not identify the siblings, but their names were confirmed through records and by Allen in a phone interview.

 Wheaton’s death is a mystery, but Traub said her body showed no obvious signs of trauma. He declined to comment when asked why Waldman did not contact police immediately after her sister’s death. She has not been charged with any crimes, he said. 
  
 “We don’t have evidence of wrongdoing at this point,” Traub said. “We don’t have evidence of foul play. . . . Our investigation remains open.” 
  
 The medical examiner has not released the cause and manner of Wheaton’s death, he said. 
  
 Felix Browne, a spokesman for the state Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, which oversees the medical examiner, said results of the autopsy are pending. 
  
 The discovery of Wheaton’s body was first reported by the Brookline TAB newspaper.

 A Brookline police spokesman referred questions to Morrissey’s office. 
  
 Wheaton’s relatives, including Waldman, could not be reached for comment on Wednesday night. 
  
 The house was built in 1920, and is listed in “fair” condition, according to the town’s most recent property records. 
  
 Allen said the sisters “never came out” of their house. “They were recluses.” 
  
 Despite that, Allen said she knew the sisters well and was friendly with Wheaton, who did some type of computer work from home. 
  
 Neither sister was married, but a cousin came to visit regularly, Allen said. 
  
 Wheaton was “bright and alert and fun. And we enjoyed each other,” Allen said. 
  
 Waldman is “a very bright woman, very well-read, very up on the politics of the day, to this day,” she added. 
  
 Allen noted that Waldman often has not looked well. She said she could not recall any health problems Wheaton had before her death. 
  
 “Usually it was Hope who was healthy, and Lynda who looked like she was ill,” Allen said. “It became reversed somewhere along the line.” 
  
 The sisters’ house is in “total disrepair,” according to Allen. 
  
 “You should take pictures of it,” she said. “The windows have always been covered up completely. I don’t know if daylight ever got in there.” 
  
 As the sisters became more reclusive, Allen said, she “absolutely” worried about their well-being. She was shocked to learn Wheaton may have been lying dead in the family home for such a long period of time. 
  
 “I loved Hope,” she said. “I don’t know what to say about this.”

assistant: A 74-year-old Massachusetts woman may have been living with the decomposing body of her sister for up to 18 months, possibly without even realizing her sister was dead, the Brookline TAB reports. According to the Boston Globe, Lynda Waldman lived alone with her 67-year-old sister, Hope Wheaton, in the $1.2 million house in Brookline. Authorities say a cousin came to the house in December to help take out the trash and found Wheaton's body under the kitchen table. Waldman appeared unaware her sister was dead and had to be informed by police, CBS Boston reports. Waldman says her sister would fall and be unable to get up. She said she would nurse Wheaton back to health with Fudgsicles and water, but Wheaton failed to get better after a fall in July 2015. While police are waiting on the results of an autopsy, they don't suspect foul play in Wheaton's death. And while it's unclear why Waldman didn't call authorities at any point, there's no "evidence of wrongdoing." Officials describe a house that was falling apart and filled with clutter to the point of hoarding. The front of the house was boarded up, and some neighbors were unaware anyone even lived there. One neighbor says the sisters were "recluses" who never left the house; another says neighbors joked the house was haunted. (A mother's mummified remains were found in the home of an Arizona hoarder.)
