Florida man accused of killing mom and burning body because she ‘wanted to be cremated’

A Florida man allegedly shot and killed his mother after years of built-up anger, then set her body on fire because she had said she wanted to be cremated, according to an arrest report.

George Beemer, 23, was arrested on Saturday and charged with second-degree murder, first-degree arson and abuse of a dead human body in connection with his mother's death, the Lee County Sheriff's Office said on Facebook.

Beemer called 911 from his Fort Myers home on Saturday to report that he was suffering from chest pain, and he was rushed to a hospital for medical evaluation.

But as he was being taken to the hospital, another 911 call came in about a fire at the same residence. Fire crews rushed to the scene and entered the home to extinguish the blaze, where they discovered the body of Beemer's mother, who was severely burned and deceased.
