Weekend at Virgilio's

Arraignments were filed today in the New York scheme to cash a dead man's $355 check after wheeling the corpse through the streets of Hell's Kitchen in an office chair. The New York Times details how an alert detective noticed a pair of 65-year-olds rolling the corpse, their friend Vergilio Cintron, outside a Pay-O-Matic check-cashing store.

“When they dragged his feet, his feet were just very rigid and they were bouncing off the edge of the sidewalk, and I knew right then and there that he was dead.”
