Argentine Widow Sleeps in Late Husband’s Mausoleum to Keep Him Company

Some people have strange ways of honoring their loved ones who have passed a way. Take Adriana Villarreal, an Argentine widow who sleeps in her late husband’s small mausoleum to keep him company, because she loves him so much.

43-year-old Adriana Villarreal, from Buenos Aires, recently made headlines in the Argentinian media after she confessed spending a few nights a year in her dead husband’s mausoleum. According to Gustavo Braganza, a police commissioner from the town of Dos de Mayo, his colleagues went to investigate what was going on in the San Lazaro cemetery, after reports of someone living there and playing loud music. When they knocked on the tomb door, Villarreal greeted them in her pijamas, and they could actually see she had been living next to a coffin and an embalmed body.
As it turns out, the woman’s husband, Sergio Yede, 28, committed suicide 2 years ago, while she was working in far away Mexico. The reasons why he took his own life are unknown, but Adriana says he was a good man, and she loved him very much. The woman told police she visits Dos de Mayo three times a year, and stays three or four nights, to be with Sergio. “When you love someone, you do all sorts of things,” she explained. “My husband deserved it and still does.” Although they both lived in Buenos Aires, she moved his remains to his home town, because that’s what he would have wished. And she built the mausoleum with the money he had saved to build a house, to fulfill his biggest wish.
When police checked out the tomb she had been living in for a few days, they discovered she had renovated it, and brought in a bed, a radio, a computer with Internet connection and even a small cooker. Asked if she was afraid of sleeping in the cemetery next to an embalmed corpse, the 43-year-old said it’s the living we should all be afraid of. Although she also visits her husband’s parents whenever she comes to town and has lunch with them, she prefers to spend her nights by her husband’s side, to keep him company.

I guess there is no, "until death us do part", in Argentina.

What if she were to get locked in there and they found her years later dead?

What am I thinking? It would be a great photo for this site! I can't think of that German doctor who had sex and slept with his dead love and died beside a replica of her face and body.

I know he is on here. Both another person and I put him here at different times. Von Cosel, I think. The clip is from HBO's, "Autopsy series".

Found a link with some stills, my original thread, and the creepy video. It should have been a love story <3

Good thing she was wearing pijamas when the cops knocked on the tomb's door or else a whole different story would have been written down by the press lol.
