France's top court has told a man he can no longer keep the cryogenically frozen bodies of his parents stored in the cellar of his chateau.

An excerpt from the BBC story:

Remy Martinot's parents bodies have been stored in deep-freeze caskets in accordance with his father's hope that they may be revived in the future.

The court said the bodies must be moved because of public health concerns. 

Mr Martinot is considering appealing against the decision at the European Court of Human Rights, his lawyer says.

Remy Martinot's father, a doctor and a believer in the theory that cryogenically-frozen bodies can be brought back to life, died in 2002.

His body then joined that of his late wife, frozen in the family cellar since her death in 1984.

The doctor had been paying for the freezer where his wife's body was stored at minus 65C (minus 85F) by charging visitors to view it.
