    Brazilian woman arrested after taking corpse to sign bank loan: ‘She knew he was dead’
    Shock in Brazil after woman is arrested and charged with violating a corpse and attempted theft through fraud

    Tom Phillips in Rio de Janeiro

    When Érika de Souza Vieira wheeled her lethargic-looking uncle into a Brazilian bank, clerks quickly sensed something was amiss.

    “I don’t think he’s well. He doesn’t look well at all,” remarked one distrustful employee as Vieira tried to get her elderly relative to sign off on a 17,000 reais ($3,250) loan.

    Paulo Roberto Braga was indeed indisposed. In fact, the 68-year-old appears to have been dead.

    Shortly after entering the lender in Rio late on Tuesday with her late uncle, Vieira was arrested and charged with violating a corpse and attempted theft through fraud, according to the Rio newspaper O Dia.

    Yep, saw this uncensored on reddit. His head flops around pretty much as much as you'd imagine it to... so she's holding the back of his head the whole time like he's a puppet.

    If you saw the video... you'd conclude the lady couldn't possibly be well either - to think she'd actually get away with it.

    Basically yes. It should be noted, for anyone "horrified" to watch such a thing uncensored, it wasn't gory or anything, he just looked like a very old person asleep in a wheelchair. Just disturbing in a non-gory way.
