A Greek man is reportedly arrested after authorities say he kept his late father’s body frozen in a freezer for an extended period in order to continue receiving the father’s pension. Media reports describe the man as 55 years old and say he was taken into custody in Mystras. According to those reports, the man told police that his father had died of natural causes and that the father would now be about 90 years old. One report states that the body was kept frozen for around two and a half years. The arrest follows police investigation into pension payments linked to the deceased. Authorities have not been described in the available accounts as disclosing further details about the case beyond the claim that the pension was continued while the body remained stored. The reports reflect differing levels of detail but broadly agree on the central allegation: the son keeps the father’s body in freezing storage for years and remains in possession of a pension tied to the father’s status as a beneficiary.
