A woman in Brazil took her deceased uncle’s body in a wheelchair to a bank in order to secure a loan. According to the British newspaper Daily Mail, this incident occurred at a bank in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where a woman brought the corpse of a man in a wheelchair to obtain a loan of around $3,000.
Footage that went viral on social media shows the woman pushing the wheelchair with the deceased man’s head raised in front of bank employees, arousing suspicion among them.
