A woman in Brazil has been arrested for attempting to defraud a bank using her deceased uncle's body. The woman named Érika de Souza Vieira allegedly brought her 68-year-old uncle, Paulo Roberto Braga, to a bank in Rio late Tuesday evening to authorize a loan of 17,000 reais ($3,250). Bank staff quickly raised the alarm due to Braga's unusually sluggish demeanor and pale skin tone.
