Set was jealous of his brother Osiris so he decided to take care of him. Since gods cannot die, he decided to imprison him. He decided to choose a golden, jewel plated coffin. As a gift, but, being to gullible god he is he decided it was quite a wonderful gift. So he decided to lay in the coffin. But then a golden lid materialized on top of it. Then he was hidden. Then Isis, his wife searched for him and eventually found him. But Set did not like that so he shattered his brother into twelve peaces and hid the around Egypt. But eventually Isis found all peaces and had help from Horus.

He shut Osiris in a chest and put the chest on the Nile, where it eventually washed on the shore. Isis then found the body. When Isis had left, Seth found it and chopped Osiris up into many pieces and scattered them around in Egypt. Isis and Nephthys found all the pieces and wailed for Re to have pity on them. Re sent Anubis and Thoth to mummify him, and Isis morphed into a kite and fanned life in Osiris. Osiris was sent to be king of the dead, as he couldn't live in the surface world.
