Eurasian Joni Bakaradze died when he was 22 years old but his body has managed to remain on this Earth for 18 extra years by his helpful mother mummified his body in old Soviet Georgia.
His mother, Tsiuri Kvaratskhelia, used various treatments to preserve his body. "For much of the 18 years, she used balsam sap and other concoctions which she described as “traditional” methods," according to ECanadaNow."She would treat the body topically in the coffin she kept for it. The body itself was never interred."
Recently, she had a dream about switching to vodka to preserve the body and since then, she had spirits watch over the body and maintain the body's health.
"I have been using... spirit liquid poultices since then. You must not leave the body without them during [the] night, because it will turn black," said Kvaratskhelia as reported by Huffington Post.
The family decided to do this so Bakaradze's son could know the man his father was.
