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'.

Blissful
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.

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
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
