A mother whose son died 18 years ago pickled him in alcohol and stashed his corpse in the basement where she has cared for him ever since... all so his son can learn to love him.




Tsiuri Kvaratskhelia keeps Joni Bakaradze's body entombed in a wooden coffin beneath the family home in Georgia, eastern Europe.


But despite having died in 1995, the 22-year-old has remained almost perfectly mummified, thanks to his mother's constant love and attention.


And every year on his birthday she has even given him a change of clothes - until four years ago when decay finally made the feat impossible.

Good condition: Despite having died in 1995, the 22-year-old's body has remained in near-perfect condition thanks to his mother's constant care and attention

Anybody see any irony that he is in his mother's basement?

It's bound to be cheaper in your case since you're half way there.

You know, I was working a special event one time with a none too bright officer (at least about world at large,) when a friend from Georgia happened by and talked to me for a bit.  When he walked off, my partner asked where he was from.  When I told him Georgia, he said something like "no, originally from, like what country?"
I repeated that he was from Georgia, and he just goggled at me and said something along the lines of "I thought he was from Russia or something with that accent."

Beat me to it...

Wow, that mother must really love (have loved?) her son. I can't imagine the pain that would drive a person to doing something like that.
