RIO DE JANEIRO (CNN) – Police in Brazil arrested a woman Tuesday for allegedly wheeling her dead uncle into a bank to withdraw $3,000.
A bank worker reportedly took a video of the corpse in the wheelchair being supported by the woman. The woman is seen continuously propping up the man’s head, which keeps slumping over.
At one point, she can be seen trying to get a pen into the dead man’s hand to sign a paper.
When paramedics arrived, they determined the man had been dead for a few hours.
The family’s lawyer disputes that, saying he arrived at the bank alive.
Investigators have not said what charges the woman will face.
