Police in Brazil have detained a woman suspected of wheeling a dead man, who she claimed was her uncle, to a bank to withdraw a four-figure loan. The incident, captured on video and widely shared on social media, has sparked a national conversation in Brazil.
The footage shows the woman at a Rio de Janeiro branch of Itau Bank, attempting to get the elderly man in a wheelchair to sign off on a loan worth $3,000. Despite her efforts to prop up his head and hand him a pen, the man remains unresponsive, with limp arms and a head that keeps falling back.
