Washington: In an appalling incident, a US woman was left in shock after she found a dead body inside the freezer she bought for $30 (Rs 2017).
“My heart was in my throat and I ran outside, called 911,” she said later in an interview.
The woman from Goldsboro in North Carolina said that she bought the freezer from her neighbour’s garage sale last month.
“A church was supposed to come, pick up the items inside the freezer. I was supposed to get the freezer back. The church never came. I decided to open it,” she said.
She immediately called 911 after seeing the contents in the freezer.
“I have a serious problem. My neighbour sold me a deep freezer. I just opened it and there's a body in there I think. I am freaking out,” she told 911 dispatchers.

In a detailed investigation of police, it was confirmed that human remains were found in the freezer.
The woman who discovered the body believes that the remains were of her neighbour's elderly mother in the freezer.
“She sold me her frozen mother for $30. How do you do something like that?” the woman further added.
The woman further said that the day after she bought the freezer, her neighbour has left town.
When asked about the lady, the freezer buyer said, “(She was) Just the sweetest lady. I mean quiet, kept to herself, stayed at home. Just unbelievable how she could just stick her mom in a freezer.”
The investigation is still on and the Goldsboro police is trying to ascertain the actual cause of death.
