The corpse of a 66-year-old man was carried to a post office by two fraudsters in an alleged bid to claim his pension, in scenes reminiscent of the 1989 film Weekend At Bernie's.
In the dark comedy movie, a pair of insurance salesmen lug around the body of their murdered boss - pretending he's still alive - and lose and recover his corpse, which is clothed and wearing tinted glasses, several times.
Irish police are investigating whether the elderly man, named locally as Peadar Doyle, may have been dead for up to two days when yesterday morning's incident took place.
The fraudsters, one of whom knew the 66-year-old well, had put a jumper over Mr Doyle's face and a hat on his head.
Both men, who were in their 30s, went into the post office and tried to get the money but staff told them they needed his next of kin there or Mr Doyle himself.

OMG gross.
Wasn’t this a movie... “Waking Ned Devine” ?
that movie got good reviews
i have seen but dont remember it except it involved a dead lottery winner
These guys must have worn covid masks when entering the post office.
If they hadn’t, they would have been immediately arrested.
The three of them are solid Democrat voters in the upcoming American elections. The dead guy is expected to vote at least four times.
I have it in my will that if I have any friends left they are to keep up my facade of life and spend my pension on coke and hookers.
This story smells.

Official: “Do you agree to this?”
(They make his head nod up and down.)
Official: “Good enough for me.”
Two men and a corpse walk into an Irish post office. Stop me if you’ve heard this one.
Must be the same guys who drag Biden from place to place.
Waking Ned Devine was a little different, but may have been a better picture than Weekend at Bernie's.
LOL
The mortician's makeup job on Joe looks like he's almost alive. Translucent white pale skin notwithstanding.
New Gallup Poll: "Do you think Joe Biden is alive?" 55% say Probably
Others: Undecided or No.
Beat me to it. Loved Waking Ned Devine.
