You Gotta Do What You Gotta Do
Starved for content today, so I figured I'd post an odd news article, compliments of Reuters:
MARSEILLE, France (Reuters) - A Frenchman in his sixties lived for five years with the body of his dead mother to keep receiving her 700 euros monthly pension, judicial sources said Saturday.
The man, a hospital morgue worker, is to be prosecuted for fraud and concealing a death Saturday after police found the corpse in a two-room apartment in the city center in piles of rubbish.
Police went to the flat because of unpaid rent and other bills. The man had imitated an old woman's voice to deceive the social services.
His mother had died of natural causes at the age of 94.
I'll leave it up to you to draw your own conclusions. Anytime I hear about dead people and money, I think of the movie Waking Ned Devine (i think the name might be different in Canada than in the UK). Anybody know which movie I'm talking about? Great movie, so if you have some free time, check it out.
