Old Man Drives Around With Dead Friend for 3 Days!

A New Mexico man drove the decomposing body of his paraplegic friend around for three days, unaware that she was dead despite what others described as an overpowering stench and a horde of flies around the body.


Amy Marquez, 33, had been slumped in the passenger side of the car, but her friend Jerry Maestas, 64, assumed she was sleeping, police said. It wasn’t until her back began turning blue that Maestas brought Marquez to a hospital, police said.

Lt. Christian Lopez said when he arrived at the parking lot of Espanola Hospital, the odor emanating from the car was overwhelming.

“There were flies all over. I don’t know how he didn’t know,” Lopez said. “He’s not all there, I guess. I have no confirmation that he has a mental illness but this guy isn’t running on all cylinders.”

Police determined Marquez had been dead about 66 hours.
