Dead Man Smuggled Onto Airplane In Wheelchair

In a scene right out of Weekend at Bernie's, two women aged 44 and 61 were caught yesterday in Britain as they tried to smuggle a 91 year old relative onboard a passenger plane at Liverpool airport, despite the fact that he had died suddenly the day before. To try to fool the airport staff, they had put the corpse in a wheelchair and dressed him in sunglasses, claiming he was merely sleeping.
