Women try to take body on plane at Liverpool airport
Police have arrested two women after they tried to take the body of a dead relative onto a plane at Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
Staff became suspicious when the women tried to check in the man, who was wearing sunglasses, for a flight to Berlin on Saturday.
The man is thought to have died the previous day and was in a wheelchair.
The women, aged 41 and 66, were arrested on suspicion of failing to give notification of a death.
The pair, who are German nationals but live in Oldham, have been released on bail until 1 June, police said.
Officers are investigating reports that the body had been taken to the airport by taxi from Oldham, a spokesman said.

It wasn't the right thing to do, but I can't really blame them. It costs a small fortune to transport a body.

He'd have to be sprayed, anyway. He'd not only been on a farm recently, he'd bought it.

I saw this on the news. Tests show he'd been dead since Friday but the women were still maintaining that he was "just a bit pale - not dead!" when they tried to board the plane today!!1!
