ALIQUIPPA, PA (KTRK) -- Police have found a body under a western Pennsylvania man's bed.



Officers received a tip that Donald Teaford had been sleeping on the bed over the decomposing body of a person who he did heroin with in his Hopewell Township apartment for three weeks.



According to a criminal complaint obtained by WPXI-TV, officers lifted the bedsheet and found 34-year-old Justin Cogan's body wrapped in garbage bags with a knife next to it.



The criminal complaint claims Teaford's girlfriend had died of a drug overdose in the same bed.
