NEW YORK (CBS) The body of renowned French chef, Jean-Francois Poinard, was found in a freezer in an apartment in Lyon, France on Tuesday, according to French officials.

Police discovered the 71-year-old’s frozen corpse after Guylene Collober, Poinard’s former girlfriend, confessed to her daughter that “something unfortunate” had happened to her lover, according to UK paper The Telegraph.

The daughter then reportedly tipped police, who raided the apartment.

When investigators arrived at her home Collober started to cry and told them “I think you’ll find what you’re looking for,” according to MSNBC.
