A woman who held an Easter egg hunt for her child found something else: a dead body beneath her home's deck. 

Though Tara Hanouskova detected the overwhelming stench resonating from her backyard and lived with it for over a week, the Knoxville, Tenn. and her landscaper were unable to locate its origin. However, when she threw an Easter egg hunt for her four-year-old son, she decided to look under her deck. That's where she found the body, which was in the late stages of decomposition.

The body had been there for two weeks and was so badly decomposed that officials still have not identified it. However, foul play has been ruled out based on autopsy results. 

Imagine the horrific scene that would've unfolded if one of the kids found it. Actually, don't.
