TOWN OF CAMPBELL, Wis. — As a teenager, Philip Schuth was teased mercilessly by the other kids because his mother still walked him to school. As an adult, he lived with his mother, cut his backyard with a scythe, and once bought $150 worth of Spam in a single grocery store outing. But the strangest thing of all would come to light over the weekend: Schuth had kept his mother’s remains in a basement freezer for years while he went on collecting her Social Security checks.
Schuth told authorities that his mother died of natural causes in 2000 and that he feared police might charge him with murder, according to court documents. An autopsy is planned.
“Everybody thought he was nuts,” said Gary Mitchell, 59, who lives next door.
