Jean-Francois Poinard, a rather prominent chef in Lyon, had been missing for some time. Then authorities were tipped off about a chest freezer inside the apartment Poinard shared with his girlfriend.
Inside they found the chef, as noted by the Daily Mail, “in the fetal position and covered with plastic bags.” The cause of death is still uncertain—he may have been there for two years. Meanwhile Poinard’s girlfriend has been taken into police custody.
