Vietnamese Man Slept Next To Dead Wife for 5 Years

A Vietnamese man dug up his wifes 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 wifes remains and his son.

According to reports, Van began by sleeping upon his wifes grave after she died in 2003. He said that a year and a half later he decided to dig a tunnel next to his wifes 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 wifes corpse and brought it home, where it remains today.

Vans son, photographed below with his mothers corpse, is said to hug her body before going to bed each night.

His father told the Lao Dong newspaper that his neighbours 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.

Im a person that does things differently. Im not like normal people, he was quoted as saying. My wifes 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.
