text: Police in San Francisco have discovered the mummified body of an elderly woman in a house said to be owned by a hoarder. The property in the Richmond area is said to have been crawling with rats, black widow spiders, dog feces and 300 bottles of urine. The remains which were removed from the house on Saturday are believed to be that of Anna Ragin who lived with her  65-year-old daughter Carolyn. Police removed the body, believed to be that of Anna Ragin, from the property in the Richmond area of San Francisco. Authorities said the home was covered in debris, including dog feces and bottles of urine . Neighbors told The San Francisco Chronicle the mother had not been seen for years. According to records another man, Archibald Ragin, lived at the property but died 15 years ago at the age of 101. Carolyn, said to be a retired Pacific Bell worker, was taken to hospital after her mother's body was removed from the house. Supervisor Eric Mar, a representative in charge of the area, told the Chronicle : 'The police captains I've spoken with tell me this is the worst case of hoarding they have ever seen.' He was concerned for the health and safety of the residents, but questioned how the situation in the property could have gotten to such a point. Mr Mar said: 'We certainly want seniors to stay in their communities as long as possible, but when people aren’t getting adequate health care and attention, this is what happens. 'This appears to be a nightmare of what can happen when people age in place for too long,' he added. 'We need to identify what the triggers are for the city to step in.' He told the Daily Mail Online that he heard the body was wrapped up in a carpet and described that, from the outside, it looked like the home was abandoned. Residents said the  woman had not been seen in years while police described it as the worst case of hoarding they had ever seen . When city workers arrived to clean up the body on Wednesday, they reportedly struggled to get in the door because the house was filled with so much debris. The mess was said to have included mold and piles of trash that reached the ceiling. They were forced to call in professional workers. The Chronicle quote a firefighter saying the body was lightweight and wrapped in a blanket. It is not clear where it was discovered.
