Yoshino was detained at a hotel in Chiba city, near Tokyo, on Friday.

A case similar to Carapachay

Something similar happened in 2014 in the city of Carapachay in Buenos Aires. Police discovered a neighbor, Claudio Alferi, had been living with him for about a decade “Mummified body” from his mother.

The discovery took place after the death of the 58-year-old man. It was his neighbors who called the police to complain about the “bad smell” emanating from the house.

In the different rooms inside, they found “waste of all kinds” because the man “was dedicated to cardboard and carried recyclable waste to it”.

Arriving in the kitchen, local authorities “found his body, sitting on a chair and in an advanced state of decomposition.” In addition, on another chair was “his mummified body as if ‘stuffed’, covered with burlap and plastic bags.”

According to the testimony of neighbors, the woman died a decade earlier, when she was 90 years old.
