ASHTABULA (AP) — Two women have been accused of driving the body of a deceased 80-year-old man to a bank in order to withdraw money from his account before dropping his body off at a hospital.
Ashtabula Municipal Court records indicate that 63-year-old Karen Casbohm and 55-year-old Loreen Bea Feralo have been charged with gross abuse of a corpse and theft from a person in a protected class.
Authorities allege the suspects dropped off the body of 80-year-old Douglas Layman at a hospital after they went to a bank and withdrew money from his account while Layman was sitting in the car and visible to bank staff.
It’s unclear if the defendants have attorneys.
