Mumbai Family Preserved Deceased Man's Body for Four Years Before Cremation
In Mumbai, the preserved body of an 80-year-old man who died in 2022 was found in a freezer at a clinic after nearly four years. His family, deeply attached and unable to accept his death, initially kept the body at home before moving it to the clinic during building redevelopment. They spent over Rs 50 lakh maintaining preservation and explored sending the body to a US cryonics facility. Police found no foul play and are reviewing legal aspects. The body was eventually cremated following police intervention.
