Awesome, truly awesome. I mean, why the hell not? http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/09/16/denver-men-accused-taking-friends-corpse-on-boys-night-out/ Two Colorado men stand accused of multiple offenses after driving their dead friend's corpse to a pair of Denver nightspots and using his ATM card to buy themselves drinks, the Denver Post reported Thursday. Prosecutors have charged Robert Jeffrey Young, 43, and Mark Rubinson, 25, with abusing a corpse, identity theft and criminal impersonation. The men found their friend Jeffrey Jarrett unresponsive at his house late on Aug. 27, before loading him into Rubinson's car and taking him to a local bar and grill, where they drank on his tab. They then went to another bar, before returning Jarrett's body to his home and continuing their night out using their dead friend's ATM card to withdraw money. On their way home, they flagged down a cop and told him they thought their friend was dead at his house. Neither Young nor Rubinson has been charged with Jarrett's death, the cause of which is still to be determined. "This is a bizarre and unfortunate crime," said Denver Police Department spokesman Sonny Jackson. "This isn't anything you want to have happen to a loved one. You want them treated with respect in death." Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/09/1...iends-corpse-on-boys-night-out/#ixzz1Y8pi1nIJ
I am sure this is what the dead bloke would have wanted! His friends had a few drinks on him, no harm done!
You're kidding, right? The guy is unresponsive so instead of calling for EMS which might possibly revive him, these imbeciles load him into their car, drive him around and use his ATM card.
Yeah, you have a point. They should have called for help instead of dragging him around. They could have saved his life. Edit: Hand on, first it says they found him unresponsive, then it says they went to a pub, drank and dragged their friend, who was apparently dead, to another pub. Was the guy dead at his home or did he die in the car? I don't think its certain.
Unresponsive doesn't mean dead. Someone having a stroke or experiencing cardiac arrest is usually unresponsive to external stimuli. They should have activated the EMS system and given CPR until EMS was on scene.
That's what a person should do, sure - but how many people are going to stay calm enough to do all that, and do it properly? Many people wouldn't even know how to do CPR properly, or would worry about making the situation worse.
Apparently they were calm enough to load him into a car, calm enough to drive him around and calm enough to use his ATM card to buy drinks. Anyone calm enough to do all of that is calm enough to pick up the phone and dial 911.
If they were drunk, its not likely they would have even considered calling 911. They are idiots, but they didn't kill the guy, and its not known (yet) if they could have saved his life. I assume an autopsy will tell us that.
I never suggested that they purposely caused his death. And nowhere in the article does it infere that the two lame brains were drunk when they discovered their unresponsive friend. My point is that had they not acted so irresponsibly their friend may very possibly still be alive.
