Man Seeks Advice On What To Do With Body He Put In Freezer
POSTED: 7:39 am EDT October 28, 2004
SPOKANE, Wash. -- It may seem creepy, but it's not necessarily a crime to keep a corpse in the freezer, police say.
A 59-year-old man walked into the Public Safety Building on Tuesday to ask what he should do with the dead woman's body he had stashed in a chest-style freezer, Capt. Bruce Roberts said. Detectives who responded to the Chateaux Apartments found the body of a 57-year-old woman inside the freezer, he said.
Police did not identify the man but said he was the woman's caregiver. He told them he arrived at the woman's apartment about a week ago and found her dead, then put her in the freezer.
"His underlying motivation, at least what he told us, was he wanted to preserve her dignity," Roberts said. "It's unique and unusual, but at this point there is nothing criminal."
The man was sent to a hospital for a mental evaluation.
Detectives couldn't remove the body, so they took the whole freezer, Roberts said. There were no obvious signs of foul play but an autopsy was planned once the body thawed.
The man told investigators that he had a relationship with the woman for several years but was not her husband.
"She apparently had several strokes and other medical problems during that time," police spokesman Dick Cottam said.

"The man told investigators that he had a relationship with the woman for several years but was not her husband."There relationship has subsequently chilled.

I have often wondered what to do with the body in the freezer.I have a freezer and an ex-wife. I'd be willing to experiment in search of an answer to that question. In the name of science, of course.

Did they give him the advise? I have Jimmy Hoffa and Bin Laden in mine and have been wondering those things myself...

Reminds me of the last words of an abused husband I knew of:
"If you find my body chopped up and stuffed in the freezer, don't believe the suicide note."

I guess they didn't marry because she sometimes would be very cold and quiet towards him.

Put some ice on it....
Or put it on some ice.
It's all about the nuance.
