The 93-year-old woman’s daughter told investigators that he bought the freezer and put his mother’s body in it so he could continue to get his disability payments.
The department said an investigation showed that the woman died of natural causes and was dead for two weeks before her body was put in the freezer.

The woman was being held in the Indian River County Jail on $10,000 bond. Online jail records do not mention whether the woman has an attorney defending her.
