This reminds me of the movie Waking Ned Devine. Women arrested in UK for taking corpse onto plane Police have arrested two women at an British airport after they reportedly tried to smuggle a corpse onto a flight. Police said Tuesday the women were detained at Liverpool's John Lennon airport "on suspicion of failing to give notification of death" of a 91-year-old man. The BBC and other British media reported that the women placed the man, a relative of theirs, into a wheelchair and covered his face with sunglasses in a bid to get him aboard a flight to Berlin. The women, aged 41 and 66, were detained Saturday and have been released on bail. They have not been charged and police say inquiries are continuing. |

HOLY CARP!!!

I read that yesterday, and yes, I think there must be more to the story. They (the wife and daughter I believe) were taking him back to Germany. I wonder if it had anything to do with him not wanting to die in England, to end his days in his native country, and they were desperately trying to make it appear so. Or, more likely, something to do with money, some inheritance issue perhaps. Sad story, any way you look at it. Or funny. The sunglasses on the corpse thing is right out of the movies. |

Wow, and I thought I was being daring when I secreted my kitty on an Amtrak train. |
