This makes at least as much sense as ANY of the worlds religions' life
after death claims. Why aren't THEY undergoing "medical checks"?

Mother Kept Mummified Daughter for Aliens
Jul 17, 8:33 am ET
ALMATY (Reuters) - A distraught Kazakh mother kept her daughter's
mummified corpse in her apartment for three years hoping she would be
resurrected by aliens, police said on Thursday. Police spokeswoman Nina
Tsys told Reuters by telephone from the town of Pavlodar in northern
Kazakhstan that Olga, 27, was believed to have died from an autoimmune
disorder after her mother failed -- or declined -- to call for medical
help.
She said Olga's cousin, worried by her long absence, had repeatedly
tried to see her, but the mother would always refuse to let him in under
various pretexts. Finally police broke in and made the gruesome
discovery.
"We believe death was from natural causes, although due to the long time
that had passed we can't be absolutely sure," Tsys said. "At least we
found no signs of vandalism."
Popular Kazakh daily newspaper Vremya carried a picture of the mummified
body, with withered limbs and parched skin, lying on a plain bed in the
flat in this industrial town.
Vremya suggested the mother -- a former nurse -- could have known how to
treat the body to preserve it.
Tsys said the mother appeared to have been influenced by a sect
preaching "cosmology" that promised resurrection of her child with the
help of a "third cosmic eye" or by aliens.
She said the mother was undergoing medical checks at a psychiatric
clinic. Her daughter's remains had been given a proper burial.
