Austrian police have found the body of a woman who, they say, was mummified by her son so he could keep claiming her social security.
The 66-year-old man confessed to keeping his mother's body in the basement of a property in the Innsbruck-Land region of western Austria after officers visited the house on Saturday, according to a police statement sent to CNN on Friday. The 89-year-old woman is thought to have died in June 2020, police said, but the man kept her body in order to continue receiving her pension and care allowance.
