A woman brought a 68-year-old man in a wheelchair into a bank branch and tried to get him to sign for a loan, but he had been dead for hours, Brazilian police said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Erika Vieira Nunes wheeled the cadaver into the bank in a Rio suburb on Tuesday and told the teller the man wanted a loan for 17,000 reais ($3,250), security camera video showed.<\/p>\n

She held a pen and moved his hand forward to no response.<\/p>\n

\u201cUncle, are you listening? You need to sign,\u201d she said, according to the security video, suggesting she sign for him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe doesn\u2019t say anything, that\u2019s just how he is,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cIf you\u2019re not okay, I\u2019m going to take you to the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bank staff became suspicious as the man\u2019s head kept falling back when the woman stopped holding it and they called the police, who arrested her on the spot on fraud charges. The corpse was taken to the morgue.<\/p>\n

Her lawyer argued that the man died at the bank but a police forensic analysis determined he had died earlier, while lying down.<\/p>\n

While Police could not exactly provide the moment that Braga died, cadaver spots that were visible on the back of his head indicate that he would have been dead for about two hours.<\/p>\n

Had Roberto died while he was sitting in the wheelchair, the\u00a0cadaver patches would have been located on his legs, authorities said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That comes as new footage has been unearthed showing Erika pushing around the corpse in the mall before wheeling in to the bank.\u00a0<\/p>
