Just watched the news story about the german women who put the dead man into a wheelchair and tried to get him on a plane.
They both swore they didnt know he was dead!! despite the fact he had been dead for days.
The mind boggles

They even put dark glasses on him dont know how they would hide the fact that he was stiff and white
fortunately airport staff noticed something was wrong with the passenger it would have been terrifying if they attempted to serve him drinks

Michael Jackson look a like maybe lol.
Was he suppose to stay in the wheelchair the whole journey or were they planning to lift him on the seat and hope he was in the right position? lol

I heard that last night and thought of the film......a weekend at Bernie's where they had to pretend he was still alive.......even strapping him onto water skis and towing him behind the boat........I laughed so much......

.....but in reality, what an awful thing to happen to someone, they must have been really desperate to repatriate the body without going through all the rigmarole here....

It says in the paper that it would have saved them £3000 repatriation costs. Now the wife is saying he was alive in the taxi he must have died at the airport. And I think his young Grandchildren were there with them too.

Rigor mortis starts setting in straight away..

Maybe he slept in the chair every night and cos they didn't have to undress or dress him could have died anytime...

One thing is he could have had a bag for each so he didn't need to got to the Loo...

She said """"that a Funeral costs about £3000-00 in Germany and doesn' cost anything in England if you are on Benefits"""

What a load of C**p she was talking.

As far as I can remember from a programme I watched.......rigor mortis sets in and then after a certain time the body goes back to being limp........strange how these odd facts stick in my mind yet I can't remember what I ate for dinner.......lol....
