Former Playboy Playmate Yvette Vickers’ mummified body was found in her home after being dead for close to a year.

Full story at LA Times:

• Yvette Vickers, an early Playboy playmate whose credits as a B-movie actress included such cult films as “Attack of the 50-Foot Woman” and “Attack of the Giant Leeches,” was found dead last week at her Benedict Canyon home. Her body appears to have gone undiscovered for months, police said.

  Vickers, 82, had not been seen for a long time. A neighbor discovered her body in an upstairs room of her Westwanda Drive home on April 27. Its mummified state suggests she could have been dead for close to a year, police said.

  The official cause of death will by determined by the Los Angeles county coroner’s office, but police said they saw no sign of foul play.
