Could you imagine finding a dead body as you start your Easter weekend off with family?

That’s one woman from Tennessee’s reality as police told CNN that she discovered a lifeless corpse under her deck while having an Easter egg hunt for her 4-year-old child.

The woman had been searching for the source of the foul odor for quite some time but every time she searched, she found nothing.

WWLP reports:

The woman told police she had been hunting for the source of a foul odor for several days. She had looked around for what was causing it a few times, but did not see anything. In fact, earlier this week the owner had someone mow the grass and said be on the lookout for whatever might be causing the bad odor. The person who cut the lawn did not see anything either.

It’s a large deck and gets very narrow and dark up where it meets the house. The body was around 15 to 20 feet up from the edge of the deck, so it’s not something you can easily see.

Wednesday night at around 7:19, the owner noticed the smell again during an Easter egg hunt and finally discovered the body. Police say there were no signs the man had set up any kind of camp beneath the deck to use it as a shelter.

A medical autopsy was started on Thursday with hopes of figuring  out who the victim is. The body was so decomposed, according to the site, that exminers could not get fingerprints or tell much about the person, other than he was a man and had on all of his clothes.
