In a bizarre turn of events, it seems there are real-life "necromancers" among us, capable of dragging the deceased to banks for transactions. This incident unfolded in Brazil, where just days ago, a 42-year-old woman allegedly wheeled in a recently deceased elderly person to a bank, attempting to fraudulently obtain a loan in the deceased's name. Eventually, she was apprehended by authorities.
This thing sounds quite unsettling.
The suspect, Erika de Souza Vieira Nunes, is accused of fraud and abuse of a corpse. The deceased, Paulo Roberto Braga, 68, purportedly won a revival match under her manipulation.
The suspect claimed to be the elderly man's niece and caregiver, escorting him to the bank in a wheelchair, attempting to process a bank loan transaction exceeding $3200.
According to reports, the scene was extremely eerie as she entered the bank. From the perspective of the bank staff, the old man showed no signs of life, with his mouth slightly ajar, giving the appearance of still having breath. And this so-called niece kept using her hand to support the old man's head, trying to make him look "normal."
But this is clearly abnormal! If she didn't support him, the old man's head would just tilt backward directly, wouldn't it?
Vieira Nunes herself, however, remained calm and incredibly confident. She told the bank staff that her father had always been very calm, a genuinely quiet person who simply didn't like to talk much. She even continued to converse with her father as if he were still alive.
For instance, she kept pestering the old man, saying, "Uncle, are you listening? You need to sign," "Without your signature, we can't get the loan. Once you sign, I won't have a headache anymore." This constant nagging was clearly awkward and eerie, as the other party didn't respond at all, and she kept fiddling with the old man's hand.
The bank staff felt the situation was too eerie, suspecting something was wrong with the old man's health, while Vieira Nunes insisted that he was just a quiet person, naturally reticent.
But at this point, even the slowest of staff couldn't hold back anymore. You're here practicing necromancy and puppetry control? That's when they decided to call the cops.
After all, the old man hadn't moved or said a word since he arrived, and the lady kept trying to put a pen in his hand, which he couldn't even grip.
Then the police and ambulances arrived one after another, and everyone was shocked when the medical staff determined that the old man had been dead for two hours. Consequently, the police arrested the eldest sister because, in addition to the issue of using a corpse, this had now become a case of suspected fraud.
Old man: Uncle, I can only go to the Bank of Heaven and Earth to lend you money.
However, what's outrageous is that there seems to be a "twist" in the plot again, as Vieira Nunes apparently has no intention of pleading guilty.
The main point of contention between the two sides lies in when exactly the old man died and whether the suspect knew about his death. According to the lawyer of the elder sister, there are witnesses who can testify that the old man was still alive when the elder sister brought him near the bank, but he passed away during the loan application process.
However, the police insist that she was attempting fraud. When did the person die? The forensic team has yet to determine. According to current reports, doctors have concluded from the elderly person's blood that they must have died lying down, not in a wheelchair. Of course, it's also possible they passed away in a taxi, but this remains under investigation.
The deceased elderly person's family provided more information. The elderly person was an alcoholic, unmarried, and childless. In their later years, their health declined, and it was indeed their niece who provided care. Before falling ill, their health was relatively stable, but it progressively worsened, with no improvement even after hospitalization. The loan was taken out to renovate the room they lived in and to buy a television set.
The lawyer suggests that the actions of the suspect, Vieira Nunes, were likely a result of "side effects of mental illness." This sister not only carries a heavy family burden but also suffers from poor mental health, including depression. She has a dependency on sedatives, takes sleeping pills, and even experiences hallucinations.
In short, the implication is that she may not have been aware of when the elderly person passed away.
The netizen felt that the storyline seemed familiar, resembling a scene from the movie "Boss Goes on Vacation," where someone fakes their death but is actually alive.
Some people also say that this was predicted by "The Simpsons."
However, speaking of remarkable incidents, in March of this year, the United States, known for its abundance of talent, experienced a similarly bizarre case, but with even more outrageous details.
Two individuals actually took a corpse to a bank to withdraw money. Not only did they manage to withdraw funds belonging to the deceased, but they also proceeded to discard the body directly into the emergency room of a hospital.
Orochimaru thinks it's too extreme.
This incident occurred in Ohio, United States. The deceased was 80 years old, and the two individuals who took him to the bank also appeared to be elderly.
In essence, the three of them lived together. One morning, the two companions discovered that the elderly man had passed away and concocted a nefarious plan. Lacking the strength to move him alone, they enlisted the help of another person to lift the old man into a car. Then, the two companions headed straight to the bank to withdraw funds.
After smoothly withdrawing $900 from the bank, the two individuals drove to the hospital, dropped off the elderly person, and then headed home.
While the hospital staff were left puzzled, the perpetrators even had the audacity to call the hospital to provide additional information about the elderly man's identity. Naturally, the authorities quickly connected the dots, and the perpetrators were apprehended on charges of theft and severe mistreatment of a corpse.
In short, as netizens put it, the world is becoming increasingly absurd. The ludicrous scenarios seen in movies and TV shows are now playing out in reality. It seems we've seen just about everything except ghosts.
