A suburban Chicago woman delayed alerting authorities that her elderly father had died while the pair was traveling on an Amtrak train, so she could save the cost of shipping his body home to Chicago.

Your first reaction might be "Ew," and yet, you've got to admire the woman's dedication to thriftiness. And also, if her Dad snored as much as ours does, you can almost forgive her decision. At least this way, he and she both found some peace on the way home to Chicago.
