Douglas Layman : Roommates Use Corpse for Bank Withdrawal

Accident – Death – Obituary News :

The Bizarre Incident in Ohio

In a strange turn of events in Ashtabula, Ohio, two women were caught in a disturbing act involving the corpse of their elderly roommate. Loreen Feralo and Karen Casbohm discovered the lifeless body of 80-year-old Douglas Layman in the home they all shared, and instead of reporting it immediately, they decided to use his body to withdraw money from his bank account.

The Gruesome Details Unfold

According to the Ashtabula Police Department, after finding Layman dead inside the residence, the women, along with an unnamed third party, placed his body in the front seat of his car. They then drove to a local bank where they withdrew an undisclosed amount of money from his account. What makes this situation even more macabre is that they positioned Layman’s body in such a way that he would be visible to the bank staff during the transaction.

A Shocking Scene at the Bank

Police Chief Robert Stell revealed to the Star Beacon that the bank had allowed this bizarre practice previously as long as the women were accompanied by Layman. This indicates that this was not the first time they had used his body for financial gain. After their visit to the bank, the women reportedly dropped Layman’s body at the emergency room of the Ashtabula County Medical Center without identifying him or themselves.

Legal Consequences and Next Steps

Feralo and Casbohm are now facing charges of theft and gross abuse of a corpse. Preliminary hearings for the two women are scheduled for Tuesday, where they will have to answer for their shocking actions. The community in Ashtabula is left reeling from this disturbing incident, and authorities are working to uncover the full extent of the women’s involvement in this heinous act.
