A Texas man has been charged with keeping his son’s corpse in his kitchen since 2018.
Police made the discovery during a welfare check after the man, David McMichael, informed them upon arriving that he had a body in his kitchen, according to a press release from the New Boston Police Department.
McMichael identified the body as belonging to his son, Jason McMichael, who he said died in May 2018.
