Mummified!!!!! Mother Keeps 18-year-Old Dead Son In Her House & Caters For The Dead Body

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.

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.

Every year on his birthday she has even given him a change of clothes - until four years....More pix after the cut
ago when decay finally made the feat impossible

'One night I had a dream when a voice told me to treat Joni by rubbing alcohol so from then on I've being using wet sheets dipped in alcohol to preserve the body,' she said. 'You must not leave the body without the sheets overnight as the skin will turn black as charcoal.'
She added: 'For 10 years I've been changing his clothes on his birthday. Only the past four years I was unable to do so

But now Joni, whose cause of death remains unknown, is finally beginning to decompose since illness prevented Mrs Kvaratskhelia from giving him the daily care he needs.

         

         

Do you think this is an obsession or really a mother's love for her son?
