Meanwhile his wife and two children are left to suffer in squalid conditions. Francois doesn't care about his family and treats them like animals. After Francois beats his wife and his young son (who dies as a result of appendicitis after the attack), his wife snaps. She murders Francois at his restaurant and butchers his corpse. When the other chefs arrive the following morning, they see Francois' organs all spread out as as a meal in the kitchen.
