Shocking As Man Sleeps Next To Dead Wife for 5 Years

A Vietnamese man dug up his wife’s body, molded it with clay into a female figure and put it in his bed so he could hug it every night for the past five years.

The man, 55-year-old who lives in the central Quang Nam province, is seen below with his wife’s remains and his son.

According to reports, the 55-year old began by sleeping upon his wife’s grave after she died in 2003. He said that a year and a half later he decided to dig a tunnel next to his wife’s grave so he could sleep beside her away from the rain and wind.

However, neighbors and local authorities found out about the practice and persuaded him to stop. Subsequently in November 2004 Van returned to the grave, dug up his wife’s corpse and brought it home, where it remains today.

According to reports the 55 year olds son is said to hug her body before going to bed each night.
The 55 year old also claims that his neighbours dared not visit him for years, but have since grown more accustomed to the idea and will now pay him a visit from time to time.

Local authorities are said to be planning an inspection of the case because of new sanitation laws that rule a body must be cremated or buried, and that burials cannot be carried out in residential gardens without approval.
