Would the corpse have been legally required to wear a seatbelt in a Taxi?

If it had been a WAV, they would not have had to get him out of the wheelchair & the driver would have had to strap him in.

Quote:
"I [did not] kill my Willi. My Willi is my god. I [have loved] my Willi for 22 years."

What a great quote from Mrs Jarant, wife of the dead man.

Yes it does, but then it subsides a day or two later.

This I know & will remember for the rest of my life after finding a tenant in his late teens who had committed suicide by gassing at a block of flats I was managing at the time, when I was in my early twenties.

The mortuary personnel that collected the poor soul's body could not get his arm into the private ambulance coffin . . . so just broke it in front of me to get it in.

I was sick & later asked questions about Rigor Mortis.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigor_mortis

There are other almost immediate signs in a dead body, but I'll leave that to your imagination & inquisitiveness.

No charges for airport body pair

05.09.2010
(UKPA) – 1 day ago


Two women arrested when trying to take a dead relative on a plane will not face charges, the Crown Prosecution Service has said.

Gitta Jarant and her daughter Anke Anusic were arrested at Liverpool John Lennon Airport in April when it transpired Kurt Willi Jarant, 91, was dead.

Mr Jarant, known as Willi, was in a wheelchair and wearing sunglasses when officials checked his pulse and found no life.

Mrs Jarant, 66, and Mrs Anusic, 41, - the man's widow and stepdaughter - were due to board a flight to Berlin when police swooped to arrest them on suspicion of failing to give notification of death.

Martin Hill, reviewing lawyer for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), said: "Having carefully reviewed a file of evidence presented to me by police, I have concluded that there is insufficient evidence to bring any charges in relation to the death of Kurt Willi Jarrant."

It is understood the case was dropped because the time of death could not be ascertained.

The women denied claims that Mr Jarant, a German national, had already been dead for some time and they had managed to ferry him from their home in Oldham, Greater Manchester, by taxi.

The pair said that, when they arrived at the airport, two employees brought a wheelchair to the taxi and helped the Alzheimer's sufferer out.

They told officials he was asleep because they genuinely thought he was.
