MCKEES ROCKS, Pa. — A woman’s body was found in a refrigerator in a hallway at an apartment building in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, police said.
Margie Martin lives in the building and said she and a few other residents noticed a strong smell then opened the fridge to see what was causing it.
“I’m traumatized 'cause I’ve never lived in a building with so much activity,” Martin said.
Martin told WPXI the body in the fridge was a woman. She said it appeared to be the body of a woman she believed had been staying in the building.
