WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Palm Beach County authorities are
waiting for the autopsy results on a body found in a carport
freezer.
The sheriff's office says deputies received a call Saturday
morning from a 15-year-old who found his father's suicide note at
home. He found his father dead in a van in front of the house. When
authorities arrived at the home, they also found the grandfather's
body in a freezer.
In the suicide note, the man said his elderly father - who was
in his 80s - died and he could not bear to let go, so he froze the
body.
An autopsy was being performed to determine the official cause
of death.
No further information has been released.

I don’t understand some people’s logic. If someone close to me dies, sure it’s REALLY hard to let go, but to desecrate their remains by placing them in a freezer is UNREAL! This person had to be a psychopath! How would living with the fact that you froze you father be any easier than giving him the proper burial? OH, I guess it didn’t, hence the reason he committed suicide!
