"No, no... he's not dead..."
"...he's, he's restin'!" ...
Staff became suspicious when the women tried to check in the man, who was wearing sunglasses, for a flight to Berlin on Saturday.Suspicion... seriously?
The women, aged 41 and 66, were arrested on "suspicion" of failing to give notification of a death.
**********
UPDATE: Original article airbrushed
The man has now been identified as 91 year-old Curt Willi Jarrant and the infelicitous reference to him having been dead for a day has been removed.
Note that, despite all the nicey-nice editing... the charges have not been dropped.
