Detroit police found the body of a 93-year-old man today -- stuffed inside a freezer in his son's basement -- after investigators said the son stole the body and casket from a Detroit cemetery on Monday.

The body of Clarence Bright was found in a home in the 4700 block of Eastlawn, Sgt. Eren Stephens said. It was in a new freezer in the basement, according to a police source.

The man's 48-year-old son reportedly told family members on Monday that he stole his father's body from Gethsemane Cemetery on the city's east side that morning to resurrect him through prayer, the source said.

Family members reached at Bright's duplex on Garland said the issue was a family matter. They said tensions were high and declined further comment.
