MUNICH, Germany (AP) - A woman was stopped at Munich airport after baggage control handlers found the skeleton of her brother sealed in a plastic bag in her luggage, police said Wednesday.

 

The 62-year-old woman and her 63-year-old friend, who both live in Italy, were hauled in by airport police Tuesday after a scan of the bag showed a human skull and other bones. The women were traveling to Italy from Brazil.

 

It turned out, however, that the woman was simply trying to fulfill the last wish of her brother - who died 11 years ago in Sao Paulo, Brazil - to be buried in Italy.

 

The travelers produced the appropriate papers from Brazilian authorities for the unusual transport, and were allowed to carry on their way to Naples - bones and all.

 

 

 

ICK......

Wouldn't it smell?

Wouldn't it smell?

Not if it was only bones....

:blink: So she let the body rot? Eeek! :yuck: Even if she buried it it would look suspicious digging it up...

It never says that the woman let the body rot.

 

It also says: " The travelers produced the appropriate papers from Brazilian authorities for the unusual transport, and were allowed to carry on their way to Naples - bones and all."

 

While it sounds odd and unusual, the authorities seem to have OKed it, although I wonder if transporting bones in a plastic bag along with your regular luggage is what the authorities had in mind. :blink:

Yes, but, where did she get the bones from? It puzzles me.... :blink:

The cemetary where they were originally buried, I would imagine...
