Two men take corpse into Irish post office to claim dead man s pension | Ireland | The Guardian
The man returned soon after with two other men, one of whom was in his 60s and appeared to be being supported by the two others. The younger men asked to be given his pension payment.
No cash was handed over and the two men fled the scene, abandoning the man s body after a woman who had become suspicious raised the alarm with a staff member. The deceased man is reported to have been well known to the men who had been carrying his body.
Gardaí said they were investigating all the circumstances surrounding the unexplained death of an elderly male in the Carlow area . A postmortem will be conducted.
A woman living beside the post office said her daughter saw the two men carrying the deceased man into the building. She was leaving my house at the time and said the man looked unwell as his feet were dragging [along] the ground, the woman, who did not want to be named, told the Irish Independent.
H/t d.
I suspect drink was involved.
