Brazil Woman Tries to Withdraw Bank Loan with Dead Uncle, Sparks Controversy
A woman in Brazil was detained by police after bringing a dead man to a bank to withdraw a $3,000 loan.
The incident, which was captured on video and went viral on social media, showed the woman trying to get the elderly man's hand to sign the loan documents while propping up his head in a wheelchair.
The bank had already approved the loan but required the elderly man's signature.
Police are investigating the case and the woman is suspected of fraud.
An elderly man was filmed at a bank, appearing unresponsive during a transaction.
The bank attendants tried to get him to sign documents but he was unresponsive.
They noticed his arm was limp and his head kept falling back.
One attendant suggested he wasn't feeling well and they called an ambulance.
Rio de Janeiro Civil police chief Fabio Luis Souza confirmed the attendants made this decision.
A man was found dead at a bank, and paramedics concluded that he had been dead for several hours.
The police are investigating the relationship between the man and a woman present at the scene.
However, the man's family's lawyer disputes the police account, claiming that the man arrived at the bank alive, and the woman is distraught and medicated.
