In a case that bears more than a passing resemblance to the plot of the 1989 film Weekend at Bernie’s, two Ohio women have been accused of driving a dead man’s body to a bank to withdraw money from his account.
Karen Casbohm, 63, and Loreen Bea Feralo, 55, were charged Tuesday in Ashtabula with, among other things, gross abuse of a corpse. Police said they received a call Monday that two anonymous women had dropped off a body at a hospital. Later one of the women contacted the hospital – the Ashtabula county medical centre – with information on the deceased, identified as Douglas Layman, 80, of Ashtabula.
