A gruesome scene has unfolded on North Palm Drive in Beverly Hills where Dr. Laura Schlessinger's mother has been found dead -- with the body going undiscovered for months!

Yolanda Schlessinger, 77, died all alone in her apartment months ago, authorities now believe.
Concern was not raised until a neighbor realized Schlessinger's pet bird was no longer singing!
Police went into the house and found a woman who had been dead "a substantial
amount of time."
Lt. Gary Gilmond of the Beverly Hills Police Department said an autopsy disclosed the woman was murdered.

Radio sensation Dr. Laura released a statement: "I am horrified by the tragic circumstances of my mother's death, and so sad to learn that she died as she chose to live--alone and isolated. My mother shut all her family out of her life over the years, though we made
several futile attempts to stay connected. May God rest her soul."
She told her radio audience late Friday:
"I am shocked and horrified that she is a victim of a violent crime... I guess one of the reasons I am committed to sanctity of the family is because I was not fortunate to grow up in a close knit family myself... It was her choice to be estranged from her entire family... I do pray she is at peace... Hold your family very close, very tight and very dear, and don't sweat the petty stuff..."
