Officers at Munich airport were aghast when they uncovered a skull and bones in a suitcase belonging to two female passengers. The women were on a stopover on their way from Sao Paolo to Naples, and the reason for the morbid baggage was actually quite tame. It turns out that the remains belonged to one of the women’s brothers who had died 11 years ago. He had expressed his desire to be buried in Italy, and the sister was carrying out his last wish.
Since the women weren’t found to be violating any laws, and were able to produce a death certificate that proved he had died of natural causes, they were allowed to continue on their journey, uninterrupted.
