Mumbai Woman Preserves Father's Body in Daycare Freezer for Nearly Four Years
In Mumbai's Malad East, police discovered the preserved body of a 78-year-old man inside a freezer at a closed daycare centre, nearly four years after his death in June 2022 from natural causes. The man's daughter, deeply attached and believing in rebirth, reportedly arranged for a foreign company to preserve the body, paying about Rs 1.6 lakh monthly. Authorities found no foul play and are investigating the legal and familial aspects, while the family considers options for the body's final rites or overseas transfer.
