Two men take a CORPSE into Irish post office 'to claim his pension': Body 'was dragged to counter and propped up by pair who put a jumper over his face and a hat on his head'



Peadar Doyle, 66, was allegedly carried to the post office by two fraudstes yesterday morning. The men had attempted to claim his pension at the Hosey's shop in County Carlow, Ireland. When staff questioned the men about his welfare, they told them he was having a heart attack and placed his body on the floor. Gardai and an ambulance were called as events yesterday unfolded and the men stayed at the post office, making no attempt to escape. Pictured: Gardai removing the man's body and at Hosey's shop in County Carlow

    'I wasn't trying to rob him... I'm not an eejit!' Irishman who brought his dead uncle into a post office to collect his pension insists he was alive when they set off but then 'went a bit slumpy'



    A man who dragged his uncle's corpse (right, being taken away by emergency services) to a post office to collect his pension has insisted he 'didn't know he was dead' and was 'not an eejit' who was trying to rob him. Declan Haughney, 40, (left) claimed he was not trying to rob Peadar Doyle, 66, after he and his friend Gareth Coakley propped the pensioner up for five minutes between his home and Hosey's post office in Carlow, Ireland, 50 miles south of Dublin. Former drug addict Mr Haughney admitted he previously stole from his aunt. He said people in his hometown were alleging he had murdered his uncle and tried to rob him because 'I [have] done it before'. However, Mr Haughney protested his innocence and said he was 'not an eejit'.

    Irishman who dragged dead uncle into post office to claim his pension carries his COFFIN at his funeral while sporting a black eye after he was attacked by furious locals



    Declan Haughney, 40, acted as pallbearer for uncle Peadar Doyle's funeral in Carlow, Ireland, on Monday - three days after he turned up in a post office dragging the 66-year-old's body while trying to withdraw his pension. Haughney sported a black eye during the service, revealing that he has been targeted for abuse by local 'scumbags' who beat him up and branded him a 'murderer'. He denies the allegation, insisting he did not know Peadar was dead when he arrived in the post office. A post-mortem examination found no sing of foul play on Peadar's corpse, though revealed he may have been dead for three hours before the incident took place.

    Ok, I thought you were disputing that we will all go a bit slumpy in the end.

    On the one hand, there is always a risk of humour spilling over into racial stereotyping.

    On the other, there is always that risk that an Englishman telling 1 Celtic race how they should comment about another Celtic race as another form of racial stereotyping.

    About us English :)

    If we were just made aware of the story, our first guess as to where it occurred may have been Ireland?

    That has been going on all of my life, and is a two way street.

    Typically, the onset of rigor is first observed 2 to 6 hours following death and develops over the first 12 hours. The onset begins with the muscles of the face and then spreads to all of the muscles during the next 4 to 6 hours.

    I dont think that is relevant.
    His story is that his uncle died between leaving home and reaching the shop.
    I suppose that if this was the case, then as he would have lost control of his limbs, after becoming dead, it would have been fair to have described him as becoming a bit slumpy.
    Although this explanation fails to account for the fact that had he dropped dead on the walk between home and the shop, he would have keeled over, and stopped breathing.
    You might have thought he may have noticed this.

    Backs up his story as the Coroner said, the body had been dead, 2/3 hours

    That would depend on how long it took to get the body to the coroner.

    If he had been dead for 2/3 hours then he had been dead for some time before they dragged his body to the post office.
