LONDON - Two women were arrested at a British airport on suspicion of trying to smuggle a dead relative onto a flight bound for Germany, police said on Tuesday.
The 91-year-old deceased man was pushed in a wheelchair through Liverpool's John Lennon airport wearing sunglasses before check-in staff became suspicious on Saturday and he was prevented from boarding the plane. He was believed to have been driven about 35 miles to the airport by taxi from Oldham, Greater Manchester, police added.
The women were arrested on suspicion of failing to give notification of a death and were released on bail.
The cause of death is not known.
These women have obviously seen Weekend at Bernie’s and know all the tricks. But while the authorities are busy trying to figure out the cause of death, I am more curious about the motive. What were these women trying to accomplish? Maybe they were terrorists trying to smuggle a bomb on the plane in the dead guy’s ass hole? This seems unlikely, but you never know. Maybe they just wanted to get him home as cheaply as possible. I don’t know. Is it more expensive to FedEx a corpse than it is to just buy the poor sucker a plane ticket?
