tovima.gr (Greek)

A 55-year-old Greek man kept his deceased father's body in a freezer for at least 2.5 years, saying he could not accept his father's death. The man denies financial motives, noting he built his own guesthouse. His lawyer says he was already receiving medication, which may have been insufficient. He now says he should have given his father a proper burial like his mother. The 90-year-old father, a teacher and psalmist, was buried without his son present. The daughter attended after years of searching. Authorities are investigating, with lab results pending.
