CHICAGO, June 19 (UPI) -- The case of a missing body at the Cook County morgue in Chicago was solved Tuesday when the woman's body was found behind another larger woman's body.

"Apparently she was overlooked," said Rosemary Fogell, a cousin of Rosalie Schultz, whose body had been missing for a day.

Staff at the medical examiner's office called area funeral homes and searched high and low for the 64-year-old woman's body only to find it where it was supposed to be -- on a top shelf in the refrigeration room, the Chicago Tribune reported.

She had been found dead Thursday in her apartment and was taken to the morgue for autopsy. It was determined she died of heart disease and heat stress.

"Rosalie would have laughed at all this," Fogell said. "Of course, she would have reacted emotionally at first, but then she would have laughed and seen the humor."
