SCRANTON, Pa. — A Scranton man is locked up after police found a body inside his apartment.
According to court paperwork, a neighbor called police last week after a man claimed he needed to get rid of a body.
When cops showed up to the apartment on Capouse Avenue, the tenant, Paul Rowe, wouldn't let officers inside because he had drugs in there.
After they got a search warrant, police found Nicholas Martin's body under a tarp.
The Lackawanna County coroner says the 52-year-old's body was badly decomposed, and more tests are needed to figure out how he died.
Paul Rowe is locked up on abuse of a corpse and drug charges in Lackawanna County.
