Horrified mum finds woman’s body wrapped in plastic in son’s room

Police have launched a homicide investigation

The unidentified mother told police that she walked into her son's room on Sunday (August 13) to investigate a 'distinct gas smell'.

There she stumbled across the brutal crime scene: a deceased female wrapped up in plastic sheeting.

LAPD officers responded to the mother's 911 call and found a woman wrapped in plastic who was immediately pronounced dead by paramedics.

At the time of writing it remains unclear just how long the woman had been dead for.

There have been conflicting reports regarding the identity of the deceased. Most publications are claiming that the woman is 30-years-old and has been identified as Hannah Rachel Collins. Others, however, have reported that the woman is 20.

Reports say that the home in which the body was found was located in South Los Angeles in the 2200 block of Wall Street just south of downstown and east of the University of Southern California campus.

Police are now searching for the woman's son who has only been identified as a 26-year-old man.

No arrests have been made.
