Tooele police found a dead man in an elderly woman’s freezer

Tooele City police are investigating after they found a dead body in the freezer of an elderly woman who recently died.

Sgt. Jeremy Hansen said Monday that officers were called to Remington Park Apartments, 495 W. Utah Avenue, after a maintenance worker reported that he hadn’t heard from one of the tenants, a 75-year-old woman, in weeks.

"A detective was called to the scene and started looking around," Hansen said, "and opens up a deep freezer and finds an unidentified adult male that is deceased."

Hansen said police have identified who the woman was, though they didn't publicly release her identity.
