Hunt for men who brought dead body into post office in bizarre bid to collect pension

Police are hunting the two men who brought a dead man into a post office to collect his pension.

The brazen duo reportedly propped the corpse up on their shoulders and took him to a post office in south-east Ireland.

However, a staff member at the Carlow branch immediately realised the elderly man was ashen-faced and called the police as he thought he may be dead.
