    It is like something out of a 'black comedy' film!! Tragic for the victim and any family he may have had but one of those incidents where the 'cunning plan was 100% successful right up to the point where it was put into action '

    Obviously, it goes without saying that the incident ceases to be remotely funny if the circumstances of his death involved murder rather than mere opportunism on the part of the two men.

    Have you seen the film Waking Ned Devine? Sounds like a scene from it!

    It’s like something out of fawlty towers. And I am sure a similar stunt was pulled in another sitcom but I don’t remember it. Really hope the guy passed away naturally and the guys were trying a bit of minor fraud rather than something more sinister but really how stupid must you be.

    I seem to remember a lady's family in Japan were claiming her pension for about 30 years after she passed away in her 80's!
