Melbourne: In a “bizarre” incident, a grieving Indian-origin woman in New Zealand bathed and cared for her husband's decomposing body for several weeks, unwilling to accept that her spouse was dead.
Severely decomposed
The incident took place in northern Wellington where the Indian-origin couple in their late 50s lived. The corpse found in late August was so decomposed that police used dental records to confirm the man's identity.
