Women tried to get dead body on easyJet

[olddutch]

Two women have been arrested for trying to push a dead relative strapped to a wheelchair onto a Berlin-bound flight at Liverpool John Lennon Airport. Officers arrested the two women, aged 44 and 66, on suspicion of failing to give notification of a death.

Did these two women do anything immoral and roughly how much in money terms would they have saved had they “got away with it” ?

I cannot believe they thought the old man was still alive,they must have twigged when they put him in the wheelchair, All smells very fishy or whatever they smell like dead.I bet they'd do a runner if they could but we'd be left with the deceased (or diseased as craft says).

I remember reading a story like this a few years ago but the dead man was actually on the plane and in the air before anyone noticed!!

Don't really know but bodies start to break down and leak and then smell I imagine this is for Health and Safety of anyone who handles it, imagine if it got lost!

Geezer, you can DIY funerals.

Must have got on the wrong flight...
I reckon they were trying to smuggle the stiff onboard, so as to try and claim some compensation.
They were going to create a scene when the plane landed and say their friend had croaked it .... only after he'd had the inflight meal.

Yep, I'll do it for a Monkey, just wrap him up and send fedex/dhl/ups etc for a ton and put 4 century in the sky. Sorted!
