Japanese man flushes his dead wife's ashes down the loo at a supermarket saying that 'life was such a pain before she died'

A Japanese man who hated his dead wife tried to flush her ashes down a toilet in a supermarket, local police said yesterday.

Officers were baffled after ashes and human bone fragments, including a chin, were discovered in the toilet bowl at the store in Tokyo.

But the 68-year-old man turned himself in to police and revealed he dumped his spouse’s remains there immediately after she was cremated last month.

I feel his pain.

I'll bet he was no prize either. Too bad she's not alive. We could get her side of the story. 😊

At least he didn’t munch on her bones.

I watch a lot of yakuza movies and have seen scenes like that. “Graveyard of Honor” has a scene like that, I seem to remember.

I’ve always wondered what that is all about.

My sister-in-law considered doing it to her husband’s ashes. They are still in her house in a leather box.

In 1983 we spread our dad's ashes in the desert north of Phoenix. White ashes,tiny bone fragments and pieces of silver from his teeth. Well,its want he wanted.

They have such technologically superior toilets in Japan.
Sometimes, outhouses are best.

I know a guy who buried his late wife’s ashes in the backyard flower garden.

My wife thought that was so sweet, and that he really must have loved her after all...

Noticed the dog relieving himself back there once, but didn’t tell him lest it upset him...

Went over on a whim and let myself in the gate to the backyard...and there he was, doing what I’d seen the dog doing.

My wife doesn’t know. Hope she never finds out.

I'll bet he was a hoot at the cremation.

Thank you for the post and ping. Hi, Slings!

My Father-in-law died in July 1996, and Mother-in-law went two
months later. Since they met, married, my husband was born in
England, and my husband and I went to England for our vacations,
we took their ashes with us and scattered them in their favorite
spot in Epping Forest where they used to date, many years ago.

Their ashes were ashes, though. No sign of bone chips or tooth
fillings. They were just fine powders.

We brought Hubby’s younger brother, Chris, and sister-in-law,
Glenda, with us for the ceremony. There wasn’t a dry eye among
the lot of us, counting Chris and Glenda’s children, both young
men.

There was no kidding around or joking. It was quite solemn and
beautiful.

The whole chin?! Not very good cremations over there.

He could have turned her into fish food!

Waste not want not. He could have cooked hot dogs too.

Soylent green?

Golf bag doesn’t have a full set of irons.

I'll bet he left the seat up....when he was finished.

[Slings and Arrows]

Yeah, what could go wrong with giving fish a taste for human flesh?
