Hearse driver stalks woman

Posted by David Pescovitz, October 21, 2008 10:37 AM | permalink

This is like a real-world horror film: An undertaker driving a hearse chased a woman through Sydney, Australia in the middle of the night. The funeral director, Adam James Lee, 37, is being sentenced today. From The Sydney Morning Herald:

The funeral director is also appealing against a conviction for obtaining a benefit by deception after his business, Caring Funerals, switched two bodies and cremated the wrong one.

His lawyer, Roland Bonnici, told Downing Local Court today that nobody in his right mind would draw attention to himself as a disqualified driver under the influence of alcohol by menacing another person with a vehicle, and therefore Mr Lee's actions should be considered a cry for help.

"Stalked at midnight... by a hearse"

Caretakers, undertakers, same difference. They're all having their way with the elderly and deceased. One's just a little fresher than the other.

j.c., yes. he could carry caskets by himself as he had the strength of ten of those creepy midgets he had lying around the place.

Was he grinning like a skull, wearing round shades and wearing a nifty hearse driver's suit? Then, he walked out of Burnt Offerings.

My favorite story from the Deep South is about a guy who was an all night DJ and also drove an ambulance. He got a page from a funeral home to pick up a corpse at a hospital. He put a tape on the air and took off. While he was passing his own house he heard of a major accident on the interstate. He pulled into his driveway, and leaned the corpse against a tree in the yard. He tossed a couple of stones against the house and woke his wife. Shining a flashlight on his recent passenger he instructed his wife "Don't let the dogs get him." And with that he took off for the site of the accident.

This guy, this guy right here, is the man. I wish I was friends with people that drunkenly stalked people in a hearse, that is awesome.

@11 Wow. Stalking people is not ever 'awesome'. This is bizarre and therefore funny-weird, but not cool, okay, or desirable.
