3. I swear they were recreating the Dead Parrot sketch
The women, aged 41 and 66, were travelling with two young children and arrived by taxi for the easyJet flight to Berlin at around 11am on Saturday (April 3).

Astoundingly, the party had pre-booked assistance for their "disabled" relative, and airport worker Andrew Millea was waiting for their taxi with a wheelchair.
...
"She told me that he was elderly and frail, and also very tired, so I would have to lift him out of the taxi and into the wheelchair.

"I immediately felt unsure about the situation, but I did my best to help by carefully lifting the man from his seat. To my horror his face fell sideways against mine, it was ice cold.

"I knew straight away that the man was dead, but they reassured me that he 'always sleeps like that'.

The children are either going to need therapy for life, or they'll have stories they can dine out on forever.
