Perhaps, after she died, the greedy daughter froze her body and continued to collect any retirement funds she may have been receiving.

She was put in the freezer so the SSI & pension checks could keep coming in. Even if she died naturally, why else would you put her in the freezer???

The daughter at home did their mum in. This can't be a natural death when you have a frozen dead body in a freezer.
