Chilling Discovery: Son in His 40s Found Frozen in Time, a Year After Father’s Passing

I surrendered with a lawyer on the 1st… Under investigation after being booked without detention
Police plan to request autopsy to determine time of death and cause of death

A son in his 40s who kept his dead father in the freezer at home for over a year surrendered himself to the police.

The Icheon Police Station in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 2nd that it has booked Mr. A, in his 40s, without detention on charges of hiding a body and is investigating.

Mr. A told the police that in September of last year, he visited the house of his father, B, who lived alone, and found that Mr. B was dead. He wrapped the body in plastic and hid it in the freezer at home to avoid publicizing the death. It is known that Mr. B was reported missing to the police by his relatives this year.

Mr. A went to the police station with his lawyer the afternoon before and surrendered.

The police plan to request an autopsy from the National Institute of Forensic Science to determine when Mr. B died and the exact cause of death.
