A woman in Rio de Janeiro attempted to secure a loan using a deceased man, purportedly her uncle, by wheeling him into a bank and trying to get him to sign documents. Bank staff grew suspicious, filming the bizarre scene and calling for help. Paramedics confirmed the man had died earlier. The woman claimed to be his niece and caretaker. Authorities are investigating potential accomplices and whether the man was alive when the loan was arranged. Similar cases, like one in Ireland, highlight the grim lengths some go to for fraud. The incident sparked outrage on social media, with many condemning the inhumanity of the act.
