Who is Marian L?

Marian L is a 76-year-old man from the small Polish town of Radlin. He dug up his mother’s grave, retrieved her body, mummified it, and then placed it on his couch for 13 years. He is currently facing jail time for the same.

Marian’s brother-in-law chose to call emergency medical services after observing him roaming around outside “looking mad.” When they arrived at the residence, they discovered the mummified body sitting atop a stack of 2009 newspapers on a couch.

Local media reported that Marian L. was an introvert and that his neighbors didn’t even recognize him. It’s possible that Marian L., who lives only 300 meters from the cemetery, rode his bike home with the body.

Police spokeswoman Małgorzata Koniarska said: “We received a report in connection with the disclosure of the body from a family member of the owner of the apartment. The policemen went to Ul. Rogozina in Radlin. In the part of the house belonging to an elderly man, a mummified corpse was discovered.”

Joanna Smorczewska from the District Prosecutor’s Office said: “According to the DNA content, the mummified corpse is that of a woman, Jadwiga L., who died in January 2010, and thus Marian L.’s mother. It was established that the grave of Jadwiga L., where she was buried on January 16, 2010, remains empty. It is likely that the man dug up the mother’s body immediately after its burial and then mummified it and the body has remained in this house since 2010.”

Head of the district prosecutor’s office Marcin Felsztyński added: “Everything indicates that the man must have used some chemicals to mummify the corpse. The smell of mothballs was noticeable.”

The body was apparently in “perfect condition” regardless.
