The creepy skeletons you sometimes come across in doctor’s offices these days are usually made of plastic. But that wasn’t always the case, and if the medical books you’ve ever read are old enough, you might know the horrific facts about human skeletons. If you don’t know, here is a detailed resource.
Anyway, back to our topic. According to the news of VICE World News, the incident involving a 68-year-old citizen named Shoichi Murai living in Tokyo started when his brother threw the “model skeleton” in the trash can in his room. As the incident deepened when garbage collectors found this skeleton and informed the authorities, it was soon revealed that this skeleton was a real human skeleton. Authorities who investigated Murai, who suddenly became a target, received the following response from the 68-year-old man: “I haven’t seen my brother since 2017. When I started cleaning the house to put it up for sale, I threw away the model skeleton I found in my brother’s room because I didn’t need it.”
Murai also claims that she has not spoken to her brother since March 2017, but the fact that they live in the same house complicates the situation. Murai lived on the ground floor of the house, while his 67-year-old brother, Hideo, lived on the 2nd floor.
The autopsy report, which emerged as a result of the researches, was really blood-curdling. Murai’s brother died in his home a few months ago, but instead of burying him, his brother continued to keep him in his room. What he threw was actually his skeleton.
So, can a human body be completely replaced by a skeleton in just a few months? According to research, this is possible. The report states that temperature, humidity, solar radiation, wind and insects in the available space are among the factors that determine the process of a human body’s transformation into a skeleton, and therefore this process is said to be dependent on environmental factors.
The matter is currently under investigation. While the police continue to investigate the cause of Murai’s brother’s death, if found guilty of dumping his brother’s body, he could be sentenced to 3 years in prison, according to the laws of the country.
