From the BBC:
I doubt he did, either... besides which, do you have to be other than normal to end up dead in a freezer? Discuss.A post mortem examination is due to be carried out
A woman in her 50s has been arrested after a man's body was found in a freezer in a village near Bath.
Local residents believe the man to be David Heal, aged in his 60s, who was found at a house in Oaklands, Paulton on Tuesday night.
Both the body and the freezer have been taken to the mortuary at Southmead Hospital in Bristol.
The house has been sealed off, and crime scene investigators are carrying out a thorough search.
Neighbours said Mr Heal, a recently divorced electrician, had lived at the property for three months.
Inspector Nigel Tinsley-Such of Avon and Somerset Police said they would like to speak to anyone who had connections with the home.
"It's clearly a suspicious death and we are making inquiries about it."
"The body is frozen and this will cause us some difficulties over the next few days before we can establish what happened to him."
He added that a post mortem examination was not likely to be carried out until Friday.
Stella Higgins, who lived next door, added: "He was a very quiet man. He seemed quite normal. You wouldn't think he would be found like that."
