Dead man wheeled to store in bid to cash cheque

TWO men wheeled a dead man through the streets in an office chair to a cheque-cashing store and tried to cash his social security check before being arrested on fraud charges, police said.

David J. Dalaia and James O’Hare pushed Virgilio Cintron’s body from the Manhattan apartment that O’Hare and Cintron shared to Pay-O-Matic, about a block away, witnesses told police.

“The witnesses saw the two pushing the chair with Cintron flopping from side to side and the two individuals propping him up and keeping him from flopping from side to side,” police spokesman Paul Browne said.
