Three siblings were left horrified after discovering the remains of a brother they never knew existed while clearing out their mum’s house after she died.

The adult brother and two sisters found the remains while emptying the Northallerton home of their mother Carol Thompson on February 3 this year.

A small box was discovered in a cupboard under the stairs, but once opened they found envelopes and a small mummified body wrapped in clothing.

After the discovery, the siblings took the box to the nearest police station where investigations were carried out.

An inquest held at Solberge Hall, in Northallerton, on Wednesday, heard that the body was a child of Carol Thompson and her ex-husband Melvin – the sibling’s parents.

<...>

Giving evidence at the hearing, Detective Sergeant Wilkinson said that family members, including Melvin Thompson were spoken to during an ‘extensive investigation’ but no one had any idea about another child or a pregnancy.

He said: ‘We discovered within the 18 inch box what appeared to be human, mummified infant remains wrapped in clothing’.

Speaking of the family, he added: ‘No one had any knowledge of a brother or the existence of another child to either parent.’

Despite exhaustive inquiries, no light could be shed on how the remains came to be at the address on Dexta Way or the circumstances surrounding his death.

A post mortem and DNA testing was subsequently carried out which showed the baby belonged to Carol and Melvin Thompson, with testing on the clothing he was wrapped in being dated from the late 1950s to early 1960s.

<...>

Melvin Thompson was interviewed at length and he ‘couldn’t account for a pregnancy’ and had ‘no knowledge’ of the box and had never seen it.

Assistant Coroner John Broadbridge said that examinations could not determine if the baby died before or after birth due to the mummification process, but that no injuries were found on the bones.

Well what a nice family surprise ...hello, meet your mummy brother

Something similar happened in my state. A nephew was cleaning out his deceased aunts house and found a small box. When he went to lift the wrapped object out, the skull popped. Turns out his aunt had had an affair with a married man back in the day. The old timers told police that she’d gone away for a while —presumably to give birth— and then came back without a baby. Everyone assumed she had given it up for adoption.

Women have been punished unfairly for engaging in the same activity as men.
