Husband ‘Kept Wife’s body on Floor And Let Dogs Eat Her Foot’

A man allegedly kept the deceased body of his wife on the floor of the living room for days, even as their two dogs chewed her foot off.

Gary Johnson, 60, said he left her on the floor ‘because he did not want to lose her’, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by Law & Crime.

Johnson, of Panama City, Florida, called 911 on Saturday to report than an unknown person was inside his home and that his wife, Evamarie Macgregor, was lying on the floor and he believed she was dead.

Responding police officers got no answer when they arrived at the front door and looked into the front window and saw a woman lying and appearing to be surrounded with blood.

Cops forced entry into the home and found Macgregor ‘obviously deceased with the skin missing form her face and her entire left foot was completely removed from her leg’, the affidavit states.

Meanwhile, Johnson seemed ‘to be disoriented and not lucid’, it states.

Johnson said his wife’s foot was missing because their dogs chewed on it.

Macgregor’s body was taken to a medical examiner’s office and a crime scene was processed.

However, the level of decomposition of her body suggested that she had been dead for more than five days, according to the affidavit.

Johnson admitted that he should have called police or paramedics at the time of his wife’s ‘medical episode’.

He was arrested on Sunday and charged with improper storage of human remains since Macgregor was left on the floor for more than 24 hours.

Johnson was booked into Bay County jail on a $5,000 bond.

His pretrial hearing has been set for January 18.

It happened about nine months after a woman was found guilty of killing her fiancé and concealing and living with his corpse for two months.
