Fla. authorities find grandfather dead in freezer


WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Authorities responding to a suicide in Florida have made a chilling discovery — a body stored in a carport freezer.

It's a tragedy that touches three generations of a Palm Beach County family.

Sheriff's deputies say they received a call Saturday morning after a man found that his father had stuck a suicide note in his door. The man found his father dead in a van in front of the home. When authorities arrived, they found the grandfather's body in a freezer. In the suicide note from the father, he said his elderly father was in his 80s and had died. He said he could not bear to let go, so he froze the body.

An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death.

I didn't know where to put this one so I put it under breaking news. Apparently this happened on the 7th but this is the first time I saw it. Such a sad case. :(

How sad and they're right about three generations affected. What torment he must have gone through.

My condolences to the family.

I'm wondering when the grandfather had died since the son didn't know of it- if it was the same day dad committed suicide. That poor son, I can't imagine what emotional pain he is feeling.

wow...sounds like the dad had some mental issues. Shame he had to leave the son to find him and the granddad. How will the son ever cope?
