Real Life Weekend At Bernie’s as Colorado Men Take Dead Friend For Night Out
Posted on Sep 16, 2011 @ 03:30PM
It’s a real life re-enactment of the cult classic movie Weekend At Bernie’s!
Two Colorado men, Robert Young and Mark Rubinson, have been accused of dragging a dead friend out for a night on the town -- and charged with abusing a corpse, identity theft and criminal impersonation as a result.
Young, 43, claims he found pal Jeffrey Jarrett, a 43-year-old realtor, deceased in his Denver, Colorado house, then placed his corpse into an SUV, police said.
At that point, he and Rubinson, 25, painted the town red, using Jarrett’s credit card to pay their bar tabs, going to multiple bars and restaurants with their deceased pal still in the car, police said.
The fun loving friends rounded their night off by stopping by a gentleman's club, authorities said, where they spent $400 more of their dead chum’s money.

Finally, after their night of fun, the fellas notified authorities to alert them of Jarrett's death.
Officials said no cause of death has been determined yet.

"This is a bizarre and unfortunate crime," said Denver Police Department spokesman Sonny Jackson. "This isn't anything you want to have happen to a loved one. You want them treated with respect in death."

By removing the body they could have destroyed a crime scene. Did they not wonder what caused their 43 year old friend's death? Were they involved and this is how they will try to get out of it? Sick people!

Why did they think they needed the corpse to come along w/ them when all they needed was the debit card?

I dunno, if I were dead, I might not mind a last fling on the town like this, as long as my family didn't have to foot the bill.

Funny as a movie. I wouldn't think it was funny if it was someone I loved.

obviously learned it from TV and real smart of them wasn't it? How could you run around with a dead person in the car with you especially a friend and more or less party on?
