Original Toronto Star caption: Gruesome find: Police had to shovel their way through dog excrement and wear gas masks to find bones they believe to be the remains of a 69-year-old recluse in this rural shack near Newcastle. They said it looked as if the woman's starving dogs ate her body. Two dogs; 60 chickens and a cat were dead outside. A supermarket manager said Sarah Way spent most of her food money on her pets.
