A woman came home on evening and switched on the light in her living room. She was horrified to see the remains of her husband on the floor. He had committed suicide. Ignoring the situation, the woman had a cup of coffee and went calmly about her housework, and did not phone medical assistance or the police. Why not?

Ok, just reread the riddle and I've got a problem with it. How can she be horrified by the remains but ignore them? Seems to me that if the remains horrified her than she obviously didn't ignore it.

 
The woman's husband had committed suicide three years earlier. The cat had knocked over the urn containing his ashes. After she finished her cup of coffee, she swept his remains back into the urn.

No fair, you must know the source. <_< That takes the fun out of it, don't ya think? You should have played along, asked some questions, and then guessed, this way it was obvious you looked the answer up...
