NEW YORK - A New York City woman says her father apparently lay dead for weeks in a minivan while police repeatedly left parking tickets on the vehicle.

Jennifer Morales of Manhattan told the Daily News on Thursday that she believes her father, George Morales, died of a heart attack.

Morales said she last heard from her dad in early May. She said she had contacted police, but police say they have no report on record.

A city marshal found the body of George Morales on Wednesday while trying to tow the minivan from beneath the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway overpass.

Parking tickets and dust covered the vehicle.

Only in New York could this happen....

Especially when you consider that the body would start to decay in a closed vehicle in the spring heat.

Not to excuse anybody (it's a pretty appalling oversight), but maybe a lot of the"Brownies" in NYC have just gotten into the habit of not even looking at the windows, let alone through the windows. In NYC, you might see something you'd wish you hadn't. Especially in a place like under the BQE.
Like a dead body.

She told police on Saturday there was a foot sticking from the bin.

The council would not say how dustmen apparently failed to notice the body. It had been there for at least three weeks, said police.

"A post-mortem examination revealed she suffered a serious head injury, but it did not establish a cause of death. "

There was also a "Castle" episode about this last month.

I wonder how much trouble the family will have to do to get the tickets nullified. Even when one passes away, the powers that be, still want thier cut. Good example is taxing the purchace of a coffin or a final resting place. Another example is making the administrater of a will responsible for filing the deceased last income tax and responsible for payment. He was dead, but still not legally parked, and responsible for the fines incurred.
