Haha they tried to weekend at Bernie’s him , Jesus Christ!!

I’m
glad they made it clear they were shocked.
Gardaí are investigating the death of an elderly man in Co Carlow, whose body was brought into a post office by two other men, in what appeared to be an attempt to claim the deceased’s man’s pension.

A Garda spokesman confirmed gardaí were investigating “all the circumstances surrounding the unexplained death of an elderly male in the Carlow area”.
The spokesman said the services of the Garda technical bureau had been requested, and a post-mortem examination would be conducted by the Office of the State Pathologist. The results of the post-mortem would help determine the course of the investigation, the spokesman said.
The spokesman said the Garda Press Office could not provide further details.

What the fuck lads…
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That is a Father Ted episode come to life
Failed when they tried to scan the body.
Weekend at bernies 15
thats fuckin mental
Have I fallen asleep for 10 weeks and woke up on April fools Day?
Clearly inspired by the great Irish film, Waking Ned
This is disgusting, how little respect for life …. fucks sake
Guess you could say they were DEAD serious on getting that pension.
I’ve been telling everyone of my intention to move to Ireland (from London) one day.
I expect I’ll be receiving this link via WhatsApp from about ten different people over the next few days.
Slightly different take on RTE. Says they tried to claim the pension but were refused without the man present, they returned holding up and then scarpered, investigation if he was dead when they brought him in or not.
To make things worse one of the lads is the dead man’s son.
I love the brazen cheek of this
Sounds a bit like Waking Ned.
Just been sent an audio clip of someone from the town talking about. Can’t be sure if it’s legit but apparently the two guys involved are junkies.
You’re not meant to literally Wake Ned
And So, the gold rush begun for diggin up some of the highest pensioned corpses ever buried.
Or maybe , a safer strategy would be to go for quantity, with a digger scoop up a few graveyards a night and dump em at the poast office for processing.
World’s gone to fuck, Joe.
Weekend at Bernies meets Father Ted
Check out this ….The remains of a Japanese woman have been found in a backpack, in the latest gruesome discovery by investigators searching for missing old people.
The woman’s son told police his mother died in 2001 but he had not been able to pay for a burial.
A similar discovery weeks ago sparked a search for people who are registered as being more than 100 years old.
According to Japanese media, the audit has so far identified 281 centenarians who are missing or have already died.
The inquiry followed the discovery last month of the mummified remains of a man registered as being 111 years old. He had died 30 years earlier.
Those unaccounted for include a 125-year-old woman whose registered address was turned into a park in 1981, according to media reports.
In the latest find, a 64-year-old man told officials that his mother had died at home in Tokyo in “about June 2001”.
“Because I didn’t have money for a funeral, I didn’t report her death,” the Sankei Shimbun newspaper quoted him as saying.
The AFP news agency reported that he told police: “I laid out her body for a while, washed it in the bath, then broke up the bones and put them into a backpack.”
But the woman’s pension continued to be paid and police are now investigating the son on suspicion of fraud.
There are more than 40,000 registered centenarians in Japan, according to government data, but the number of missing has raised concerns that the welfare system is being exploited by dishonest relatives.
Analysts say there is dismay in Japan that a rich, efficient society could have lost track of its senior citizens to such a degree.
Don’t live far from here. Drove by it earlier. The whole town is SHOOK. Nothing else will be talked about for weeks
How much can he possibly get for the pension to make them think that was a good idea?
Oh so Ireland is the LARP version of Fr. Ted now? 🌍👨🚀🔫👨🚀
Those two men should expect stiff sentences when caught!!!
It’s so bizarre like..what would they even be charged with?! I can imagine lawmakers thinking.. we didn’t think we’d need one for that
Weekend at Bernie’s 3 ha
The most ridiculous part of all, is that due to Covid it’s currently possible to collect another person’s pension for up to fifteen weeks if they sign a form.
Instead of forging a signature and saying “he has Covid”, they brought a corpse to the post office.
i condem their lack of creativity, they should have gone the sesame street route and worked the arms with chicken wire
That is the height of pure junkie activities
Bit of a laugh and all in one way… but fuck me, that’s someone’s friend or dad or grandfather.. if some scummy cunt did that to my relative or friend I’d want to string him up and kick the lugs of him.
