Dead man walking

“I’m horrified, I’m absolutely, I can’t even put in to words, I can’t imagine anybody thinking of doing that,” said a family who apparently never saw the 1989 ode to necrophilia, Weekend at Bernie’s.
What she was horrified at were the actions of two friends who took her brother out bar hopping in Denver. The only problem is that her brother was dead at the time.
When Robert Young came home and found his roommate, 43-year-old Jeffrey, dead, he did what any good friend would do, he called a mutual friend, Mark Rubinson, and they loaded the body into a car for a last hurrah.
They hit two bars, one in Denver then another one in Aurora, before finally taking Jarrett home. And, of course, they took $400 out of Jeffrey’s account to pay for it. I mean, it’s not like he needed the money.
Rubinson and Young face charges of abusing a corpse (which apparently happens often enough to be its own category of crime), identity theft and criminal impersonation. The cause of Jeffrey’s death is still being investigated, but we can be pretty sure it wasn’t loneliness.
