A man in Mexico was arrested Friday after stealing a hearse that still had a body inside, according to police.
The Tlaquepaque Police Department said in a Facebook post the 40-year-old man, whose name was only given as Annibal Saul N., took the vehicle after seeing the keys left inside.
The hearse, a Cadillac Escalade, had been readied to take the body of an 80-year-old man from a hospital in neighboring Guadalajara to a funeral home.
It's not yet clear if the man knew the body was inside at the time when he took the vehicle.
