Paul Edward Mathers' body was discovered soon after his wife Jeanne Souron-Mathers, 75, was found dead at a retirement village in Tooele, Utah.
Police say he had had a terminal illness and the last time he had been seen was at hospital on February 4, 2009.
Mathers is believed to have died between that date and March 8, 2009. An autopsy suggested he may have been in the freezer since then, although this has not been confirmed. Neighbors said that although Souron-Mathers used a wheelchair towards the end of her life, she could walk unassisted 10 years ago, and police are looking into whether she would have been physically able to put her husband into the freezer by herself, theSergeant Jeremy Hansen of the Tooele Police Department said officers found alongside Mathers' body a notarized letter from December 2008, which had been signed by Mathers stating that his wife did not kill him.
Jeanne Souron-Mathers, 75, was found dead at her retirement village home last month. The body of her husband was found in the freezer.The Associated Press reported that Mathers' signature has not been verified and the woman who notarized the letter dated December 2008 had admitted she did not read it before signing it.
"She told the detective she didn't read the note, she just stamped it and signed it," Hansen said, adding that the couple may have come up with the scheme so Souron-Mathers could still get the benefits and investigators are going through medical and financial records.
