TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A Florida woman was arrested Thursday after police said she hid her mother’s body in a freezer to continue collecting the woman’s disability benefits.

On April 28, 2022, Sebastian police officers found the body of Marie Hoskins inside a chest freezer while conducting a welfare check at her home on Paddock Street.

Police said Michele Hoskins, 64, of Sebastian told officers she found her mother’s body in her bedroom.

Further investigation found that Marie Hoskins had been dead for around two weeks from natural causes before her daughter bought the freezer to hide her mother’s death.

1. Now That's (Really) Cold

Also (sorta) sad in that Michele Hoskins will now be 'put-on-ice' and will never actually collect any of her mother's disability benefits as those benefits will become 'frozen' as of the approximate time of her passing...

5. Thank you Atticus for your kind response

Now, please know that it took me way too long to finally see the 'freezing coldness' of your words.

6. I Understand

As I know that some 'chilly & slippery' comments just leave me 'cold'.

4. Reminds me of the guys in Hell's Kitchen, N.Y.C. Their fellow apartment dweller died and his SS

check came in the mail. He didn't need it anymore, so what would you do if it was you?

Exactly!

Like in "Weekend at Bernies," they strapped in into his wheelchair and pushed him to a local bank.....

7. How does a 93 year old get disability?

My SSDI is going to convert to regular SS when I reach 65
