A Frenchman in his sixties lived for five years with the body of his dead mother to keep receiving her 700 euros monthly pension, judicial sources said Saturday.

 

The man, a hospital morgue worker, is to be prosecuted for fraud and concealing a death Saturday after police found the corpse in a two-room apartment in the city center in piles of rubbish.

 

Police went to the flat because of unpaid rent and other bills. The man had imitated an old woman's voice to deceive the social services.

 

His mother had died of natural causes at the age of 94.

A boy's best friend is his mother.

I would expect nothing less from those smelly French.

Dammit I wanted to be the lucky one to say the Norman Bates joke.

Let the bodies hit the floor... Let the bodies hit the floor..... (bad joke/song hehe)
