Son Keeps Mother’s Body in Freezer | Tucson News

A UK man, 60-year-old Christopher Phillips, got over two years in prison for keeping his own mother’s body in a freezer and defrauding the system by collecting benefits in her name.

Though the cause of death remains unclear, the fraud and obstruction of a proper burial led to his conviction.
