Posted in: Man abandons mother’s body in apartment; tries to get money from her bank account See in context
Other problems aside - if his mother died - isn't it his money anyway? So technically I doubt it would qualify as fraud...
Inheritance tax needs paying.
Pension may have been paid after death, that's fraud.
There may be other siblings.
She might have left her estate to someone else.
Debts to pay...

Just make it mandatory to have collision systems built into new cars, such as autobreaking.
Cars can have black boxes too that record all the parameters and this can be used if there's been an accident.

Isn't it the IOC that has to cancel it, otherwise liability would lie with Japan for compensation to sponsors?
It's such a shame though, because you can see they made a huge effort with infrastructure. Would have been a great games.

I don't understand how some women think. Can't you just put the baby in it's cot and go outside and scream. Why can't they take a step back? You don't need to kill the child just because it's difficult. It's not going to die of you left it to cry.
