Bizarre moment woman wheels ‘dead man’ to Brazilian ATM to withdraw money
This is the bizarre moment a woman uses a dead-looking man in a wheelchair to withdraw money from an ATM.
The cellphone video first made the rounds on social media last week and showed the woman placing her left hand behind the man’s neck and then placing his right index finger over the scanner to capture the fingerprint.
For a moment it seems that the scanner is having trouble accepting the fingerprint and the woman then holds his arm while he presses his finger down.
The woman then notices that the man’s head is tilted back and places her left hand behind the neck area for support while she presses the keyboard.
She then takes the money out of the machine and puts the money in her top just before the recording ends.
A viral video showed the moment a woman used the body of a man who appeared to be dead to withdraw money from an ATM. The incident reportedly took place in Brazil, although police have not commented

The incident is said to have taken place in Brazil, but authorities have not commented on it.
Some social media users expressed doubts about the veracity of the video footage, claiming it was a prank that brought back memories of Érika de Souza, who in April drove the corpse of her uncle Paulo Braga, 68, to a bank branch in Rio de Janeiro to trying to take out a $3,250 loan.
De Souza, a 42-year-old mother of six, was caught on camera trying to give Braga water, moments before putting her fingers on a pen to try to sign the bank document.
The bankers were concerned about De Souza’s behavior and called the police. Paramedics were sent to the bank and attempted to revive Braga.

Investigators discovered that Braga had been dead for about two hours because cadaver marks were visible on his head.
“There is no doubt that Érika was aware of Paulo’s death,” Fabio Souza, head of Rio de Janeiro’s civil police, said in his findings.
“But since it was her last chance to withdraw the money from the loan, she entered the bank with the corpse, simulated for several minutes that he was still alive, even pretended to give water, took the pen and held his hand close to the hand of Paulo’s corpse.’
De Souza is being held in pre-trial detention and faces charges of defamation of a corpse and attempted theft for fraud.
