According to reports, a man in Poland was arrested after he mummified his mother’s body and kept it on his sofa for over a decade.
The body was discovered by his 76-year-old brother-in-law when he visited the man’s house on February 22.
The brother-in-law reportedly found the mummified body inside the house, which was on top of a stack of newspapers from 2009.
A spokesperson for the police noted that the body was revealed to them by the owner’s relatives.
According to the police, they were called to the house in Radlin after the owner fell ill.

The police then went to her burial site and discovered that it was empty.
They learned that the Marian dug up the body and stored it in his apartment, where it was preserved using chemicals.
The man was charged with disturbing a corpse and will undergo psychiatric evaluation.
