MONROE, MI - A Michigan man lived with his girlfriend's corpse for more than a month, according to authorities.

The Associated Press, citing The Monroe News, reported that 49-year-old David M. Hall, of Monroe, was arraigned last week on a charge of concealing the death of an individual. Police discovered the body during a welfare check, which was requested by the couple's landlord.

Authorities say 56-year-old Kandace Simmons appears to have died in early December. It's unclear why Hall didn't report the death, the AP reported.

Hall remains in jail on a $50,000 bond, according to the Monroe News.
