Florida woman hid 93-year-old mom's body in freezer to collect disability, police say

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.

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...
