A Minnesota man found dead in a chest freezer of an empty home had been on the run from authorities and had used the vessel as a means to hide, police have revealed.
Brandon Lee Buschman, 34, was discovered in the freezer in the basement of the unoccupied home on June 26, according to the Gilbert Minnesota Police Department.
Buschman, from Babbit, had an active warrant out for his arrest and it is believed that he became stuck in the freezer after climbing into it. Witnesses confirmed with authorities that they last saw the man fleeing from the upstairs part of the home because of possible police presence in the area.
