This Man Mummified His Mother Underground For A Year To Get Regular Allowances And Pension Funds

JAKARTA - After his mother died, an Austrian man did not immediately bury her. He wrapped his mother's body in bandages and an ice pack, making it look like a mummy. But it's not all based on love.

His mother's wrapped body was then stored in the basement. His mother's body was there for a year until it was finally uncovered.

This man's job is a mercenary. And all done for personal gain. So that he can regularly continue to receive benefits from the government, as reported by the Daily News, Saturday, September 11.

The 89-year-old mother died in June 2020 in the province of Tyrol. Police only learned of her death this month when a mail carrier who had handed her son her check asked to see the woman. At that time his son refused. The letter bearer then reported the case to the police until the gruesome discovery was made last weekend.

The woman reportedly had dementia and appeared to have died of natural causes. There is no indication that he died unnaturally.

His 66-year-old son admitted to keeping the body in his basement so he could receive his pension and care benefits. He also lied to his brother, saying their mother was in the hospital and was not worth visiting.

Police believe he has received around 50.000 euros, or nearly $60.000, over the past year.
