On the first day, a man in his 40s turned himself in to police and said he had kept his father’s body in the freezer for a year.

Mr. A told police he could not immediately reveal his father’s death due to property issues.

However, according to the YTN report, it was found that A’s father had filed a divorce case worth billions of won at the time of his death.

In July 2022, he filed a divorce and property separation case against his wife B, and the ruling was upheld by the Supreme Court in April this year.

Mr A stated that his father died in September last year and that a divorce petition was pending at that time.

Divorce cases have been filed for more than six months, resulting in the death of the person.

In a telephone conversation with YTN, the father’s lawyer explained that he had no idea that his client had died. He said: “I have communicated with Mr. A mainly when it comes to lawsuits.”

B also said that he never met his husband during the divorce proceedings.

When I asked my stepson A to let me meet my father, he told me as if he were still alive and said that he had made several appointments and canceled them.

The Supreme Court said: “Divorce cases do not check for survival if the agent is properly appointed,” adding: “The court found itself in a situation where the condition of A’s father was unknown.”

Meanwhile, police have confirmed that A bought a plastic bag to store his father’s body in November last year and did not use it because it was small, and police are investigating the exact time of his death.

The National Forensic Service told police that the initial autopsy found no signs of homicide, including trauma, in the father’s body.
