LONDON (AP) — Police have arrested two women at an British airport after they reportedly tried to smuggle a corpse onto a flight.

Police said Tuesday the women were detained at Liverpool's John Lennon airport "on suspicion of failing to give notification of death" of a 91-year-old man.

The BBC and other British media reported that the women placed the man, a relative of theirs, into a wheelchair and covered his face with sunglasses in a bid to get him aboard a flight to Berlin.

The women, aged 41 and 66, were detained Saturday and have been released on bail. They have not been charged and police say inquiries are continuing.

I hear it is extremely expensive to ship a dead body. The relatives might have thought it was cheaper to try to fly him back by plane since he already had a ticket...

I've heard that before so it would actually make sense, gross but make sense.

When I first read the title I thought wow shouldn't be much left of old Bernie by now...
