A 33-year-old Pennsylvania man was taken into police custody after allegedly posting a disturbing video holding up his father’s severed head online, according to a report and the since-removed clip.
Police found the headless body in a Middletown Township home after responding to a report of a death just after 7 p.m. Tuesday, Fox29 reported .
“We got called to the home and officers went in and discovered the father upstairs deceased,” Middletown Police Chief Joe Bartorilla said outside the crime scene late Tuesday, according to the Bucks County Courier Times .
The officers found the remains of a man in the upstairs bathroom of a home on the 100 block of Upper Orchard Drive, police sources told the station.
Investigators then detained a “person of interest” whose vehicle they found two hours away in Lebanon County.
The station’s sources believe the person in custody was the victim’s youngest son, who they say shared the gruesome footage to YouTube.
