Texas man was arrested on Wednesday after police found human remains in his home while responding to a wellness call.
The remains are believed to be of the man’s son, police say.
In a press release, the New Boston Police Department wrote that they received a request for a wellness call from a neighbour.
When authorities arrived at the address Wednesday evening, a man named David McMichael answered the door.
McMichael reportedly told police the body belonged to his son, who died in May 2018. When officers entered the home, they allege “the skeletal remains of a male” were found in McMichael’s kitchen.
The police department wrote in the statement it was determined the body was “possibly Jason McMichael,” the son of David.
McMichael was held in custody and has been charged with abuse of a corpse.
