Someone caught footage of the horrifying moment when a man from Brazil pushed the corpse of his 100-year-old mother outdoors in a wheelchair. Yes, you heard that correctly, Aurora Marques' son paraded his mother's body on Brazil's streets after she passed away on Tuesday.

The upsetting video shows the mother's corpse sitting in a wheelchair covered in a black jacket. Although he covered most of her body, you could still see parts of her hands and feet. Allegedly, local drug dealers came up to him and accused the son of killing Aurora.
Mother's Dead Body Pushed On Streets In Wheelchair
According to the unnamed son, Aurora had been sick since January 7 from an unknown illness. As he spoke with Rio de Janeiro Civil Police, he explained that she got sick after their landlord warned them they would remove the tenants from their Campinho home.
The poor 100-year-old woman could have fallen ill due to stress, perhaps because of the eviction notice, but the cause of death is still unknown. Aurora told her son she didn't feel well on January 21 and died not too long after. Paramedics arrived at the scene after he called emergency services, and they let him know the Social Assistance Department would soon retrieve the body.
Oddly, the SAD didn't show up that night, and knowing her body was still in the home he became uncomfortable and restless. On Wednesday morning, Aurora's son decided to bring his mother's corpse to the SAD himself.
We're unsure yet how the son views the situation, but it seems he was too uncomfortable with her body being in the house that the next best decision was to deliver it himself. The body was eventually taken to a local morgue as an autopsy is in the works.
The Social Welfare Department revealed it would provide a free burial for Aurora's family, but it's waiting for the son to contact the department. Weirdly, the Mobil Emergency Care Service also mentioned it contacted Aurora's family for the free burial and body pick-up, but no one answered the calls.
Now the cops have taken the son in for questioning after opening an investigation into the mother's death.
