I wonder what circumstances led to it being discovered? Looks like this happened very early in the morning today, so my guess is that the actual incident of violence had recently occurred and the noise caught someone’s attention. The headline sort of lends itself to the suggestion that a body had been in the freezer for a while, like a serial killer situation, whereas it seems more likely that someone just committed murder and tried to hide it there.

Edit: NBC article has more detail; the family discovered the person after a welfare check. I feel for them, horrible thing to witness. https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/body-freezer-south-philadelphia-home/3458181/?amp=1

In all of the articles I’ve read, it says family members went to check on the father and son that periodically live in this home because they hadn’t heard from them. The family members discovered the scene because there was a lot of blood in the home leading to the basement.
