Man Steals Corpse of His Dead Girlfriend?

A man loved his girlfriend so much he kidnapped her corpse after she died, or so one internet user would have us believe.

Reddit member BoiledEggs uploaded the creepy picture, with the caption ‘Dude in CA. (California) steals his dead GF from morgue and posts picture to his social media page.’

Unsurprisingly the picture drew great interest online and was shared around on social media.

But it soon became apparent it wasn’t a real dead woman in the back seat and it was actually something more innocent, a prop.

A production assistant told Gawker he took the image in August.

‘It was my friend who put this story online without my permission,’ he said.
