The teller filled a bag with cash and the suspect took off. A dye pack inside the bag exploded, the Web site reported.

I would have described him as "man dressed as a tree"

Dead Man's Check Leads to Wild Scene

NEW YORK (Map, News) - Detective Travis Rapp knew something was clearly wrong when he looked out the window of the restaurant where he was having lunch. Two men were wheeling their friend down a Manhattan street in a red office chair, and a crowd of suspicious onlookers began to congregate around the lifeless figure.

Initially, Rapp assumed "it was a mannequin or a dummy," he said. "I thought it was a joke, honestly."

But upon closer examination, it dawned on him that the body - rigid, white and with glazed-over eyes - was real. As a 15-year veteran with the New York Police Department, he had seen a few dead folks in his time. "But never anything like this," he recalled.

As it turns out, his instincts were right. The man was dead, and two of his friends had hauled his corpse to a store to cash his $355 Social Security check, police said. They were arrested before they could get the money.

The bedraggled suspects, David J. Dalaia and James O'Hare, were scheduled to appear in court Wednesday night. Police said the men, both 65, were petty criminals with long histories of heroin addiction and arrests dating back to the 1960s.

The scene could have been straight out of the movie "Weekend at Bernie's."

The trouble began Tuesday when Dalaia and O'Hare tried to cash Virgilio Cintron's check at a store in Hell's Kitchen on their own, police said. The man at the counter told them that Cintron had to be present to cash the check, so they went back to his apartment, which one of the suspects shared with the dead man.

Cintron was apparently undressed when he died, sometime within the previous 24 hours. Police said Dalaia and O'Hare proceeded to dress him in a faded T-shirt, pants they could only get up part way, and a pair of Velcro sneakers. They threw a coat over his waist to conceal what the pants couldn't cover, police said.

They then put him on the office chair and wheeled the corpse over to the check-cashing store.

The men left Cintron's body outside, went inside and tried to cash his check, authorities said. The store's clerk, who knew Cintron, asked the men where he was, and O'Hare told the clerk they would go and get him.

At about the same time, Rapp spotted them and jumped up, confronting the men as they were attempting to haul the body into the store. He said even after he identified himself as a police officer, O'Hare told him, "I have to get my friend in here. I have to cash his check."

He ordered the men to back away from the victim. They feigned surprise when paramedics declared him dead, Rapp said.

"When they said, 'Your friend is dead,' they said, 'Oh my god, he's gone?'"

The scene played out on a busy Manhattan street as several onlookers watched.

"I saw this guy sitting in this chair with his head back. He looked very dead," said Victor Rodriguez, 38, who was working at a nearby restaurant when he saw the commotion outside. "He looked very sick. His eyes were closed. He wasn't moving."

Little is known about Cintron, 66, who apparently died of natural causes. An autopsy proved inconclusive, the medical examiner's office said, and his body hadn't been positively identified as of Wednesday afternoon.

Relatives told police that he had recently been hospitalized for Parkinson's disease. Police said his rap sheet was long, with arrests for burglary, assault and drugs. Locals said that Cintron and O'Hare often frequented a food pantry down the street.

A telephone number listed for Cintron at the apartment he shared with O'Hare went unanswered. Police said they didn't have an address for Dalaia or attorney information for him or O'Hare.

Regardless of what happens to the defendants, they can take solace in the fact that they fooled one onlooker with the dead man disguise.

"He went in regular clothes. I didn't even know he was dead. I thought he was alive," said Gerit Ahemed, a clerk at a nearby deli.

Why didn't the teller just tell the guy to leave?

And which branch of the bank did the guy rob?

His criminal tendencies were deeply rooted.

He always pined for a more comfortable life.

I admire him for branching out and trying new things.

Despite how much a life of crime saps your energy, it's better than having to listen to a boss bark at you all day.

[Not Right in the Head]

He should have been a bit more firtive about it.

That's a double pun if you know the etymology of "furtive."

[Not Right in the Head]

His holdup note said, "Give me all your money NOW, beech!"

Maybe he needed the extra green to spruce up his home.

[Not Right in the Head]

Did he ask for tree thousand dollars?

[Not Right in the Head]

Was it a stickup?

[Not Right in the Head]

This robber sounds like a shady character, but maybe he's just a sap.

[esheh195]

You really are on a roll, huh?:D

Honestly, I root for people like this. He had to steal the money to feed his kids...they haven't eaten fir weeks and are thin as twigs.

What a dumb ass, it's not like money grows on trees.

[Vauxhall95]

Yes, his tree house was being foreclosed on.

The weekend at Bernies story is on the front page of the Daily News today. heh heh.. funny.

[esheh195]

I'm going out on a limb here, but I'd bet this isn't the last we'll hear of this budding criminal.

[Vauxhall95]

What a dumb ass, it's not like money grows on trees.

Well, money is the root of all evil...

[Buzzetta]

Well, money is the root of all evil...

That's not true.

I have a saying - anyone who ever tells you that money is not important does not have any.

Did you just threadjack our threadjack?:mad::p:D

True. His getaway has the authorities stumped.

[esheh195]

True. His getaway has the authorities stumped.

He sounds pretty dumb to me...he'll probably leave the cash in his trunk.

[Vauxhall95]

:

Did you just threadjack our threadjack?:mad::p:D

I know. He should just leaf well enough alone.

[Vauxhall95]

He sounds pretty dumb to me...he'll probably leave the cash in his trunk.

If only family or friends had gotten to him sooner, he might have been able to turn over a new leaf.

[Not Right in the Head]

Let's knot be too hard on the guy; he was probably just board with his day job, like the rest of us. I woodn't want to be him right now, though.

speak for yourself. I am running my weekly film appreciation class for the 7th graders. They are watching the next 45 minutes of Lawrence of Arabia. Except for the annoying child who keeps getting shushed by the other kids - the rest seem engrossed... allowing me to type on the computer.

True, where he's headed he should be wary of protecting his knot holes.:eek:

I have to give him credit...if I was in his shoes, my nerves wood be in splinters.

[Not Right in the Head]

This guy was setting himself up for a bad fall.

[Vauxhall95]

I think we are being too hard on him. His bark was worse than his bite.

[girlunafraid]

he's a real bad 'un, from a long line of crims, I've checked out his family tree! Mind you if they'd have a gone in all together you wouldn't have been able to see the woods for the trees & the cops wouldn't have been able to divide & conker. I hear that when they caught up with him he said it's a fair chop. He's got criminal realations in the U.S. but they are little league compared to him, you may have heard of them, they are called the Bush family.

P.s. he's got an Irish cousin, Theresa Green
