Police: Brothers Stole Body, Hoped to Resurrect Dead Father

DETROIT — Police say they are trying to determine if two brothers stole the coffin of their 92-year-old father believing they could resurrect his body.
Police found the man’s body frozen and unharmed in a freezer Tuesday in the basement of a home of one of his two sons, Detroit News reported.
Officers say the story unfolded when the coffin was stolen from a Detroit-area mausoleum early Monday morning. According to police, they found a van with a coffin in the back, but without a body inside.
Police say they found a pillow from inside the casket in the backyard of the son’s home.
It appears the one son was so distraught over his father’s death that he believed he could resurrect his father through prayer, the paper reported.
The men could be charged with disinterment, a felony punishable with up to 10 years in prison. Police could seek a forensic examination of the men to determine whether they should be charged, the paper said.

:facepalm:

Detroit? I would have bet on Colorado or Washington. That's a stoned thing to do.

No way.

That would require too much physical labor for a pothead.

Cue Bump to tell us marijuana actually increases strength levels by 33% percent

ROFL

While it treats cancer, fights off hypertension, and turns you into a pharmacological expert.

With a little more time in the freezer, he could have been the Grand Marshall of the Nederland Frozen Dead Guy Parade.

Have you ever attended the event? I haven't, but I think it could be fun.

I haven't. We should go up there sometime and check it out. Make it a little Chiefsplanet outing and maybe enter the coffin race.

I love it. Great idea.

They're gonna face stiff punishment for this.

How is it a crime to take your own father's body out of his grave? A little bizarre to be sure, but illegal?

A little bizarre?

Thank you Detroit!

Sincerely,

Florida.
