A Vietnamese man dug up his wife’s body, molded it with clay into a female figure and put it in his bed so he could hug it every night for the past five years.

The man, 55-year-old Le Van from Ha Lam in the central Quang Nam province, is seen below with his wife’s remains and his son.

According to reports, Van began by sleeping upon his wife’s grave after she died in 2003. He said that a year and a half later he decided to dig a tunnel next to his wife’s grave so he could sleep beside her away from the rain and wind.

However, neighbors and local authorities found out about the practice and persuaded Van to stop. Subsequently in November 2004 Van returned to the grave, dug up his wife’s corpse and brought it home, where it remains today.

Van’s son, photographed below with his mother’s corpse, is said to hug her body before going to bed each night.

His father told the Lao Dong newspaper that his neighbors dared not visit him for years, but have since grown more accustomed to the idea and will now pay him a visit from time to time.

“I’m a person that does things differently. I’m not like normal people,” he was quoted as saying. “My wife’s body only passed away but her spirit still accompanies us. I have no fear when it comes to sleeping with her at all.”

Local authorities are said to be planning an inspection of the case because of new sanitation laws that rule a body must be cremated or buried, and that burials cannot be carried out in residential gardens without approval.

Orishirishi!

That looks like a mannequin to me.

The guy is sick. If he loved her, he would allow the dead body a dignified rest. Who knows the things he does to that clay-figure?

this man isnt normal for real.
He sure needs a psycho evaluation!

I am not surprised that the OP is Onila. She is sick and twisted in more ways than can be described.

i understand the attachment but letting go is a must...i miss my deceased loved ones but I'd be damned if I'll exhume their bodies for comfort.

I just wish someone would give Onila the attention she wants so desperately

sorry but I don't do Virgins. Blame it on my Heamophobia

I'm speechless,
Yet amazed by this manner of love and attachment.
It's very touching that he went sleeping on the grave, later dug a tunnel beside the grave just to be beside her (I mean it's amazing)
It's too much to have her dead body inside the house yet this is all amazing!
I'm amazed.

The local authorities nwanu should hurry up and intervene so as to get their sweet woman buried.
They need help to be able to let her go. How can they move on with their lives with her in the house in that form.
What kind of attachment is that? It's bewildering.

what a freak??!!

And this insanity is called true love? Mr. Op it sounds like you gonna do this kinda thing in the future. Something to show my Vietnamese friends tomorrow.

Hope this 2" dude gets help soon.

hehehehehehe ** rolls wheelbarrow across d thread**
