SHOCKING footage captured the moment a shameless woman dragged her dead uncle into a bank in a bid to take out a loan in his name.
The dead man’s head could be seen swaying back and forth as her niece tried to get hold of his neck at a bank counter in Rio de Janeiro.
The Brazilian woman, identified as Erika de Souza Vieira Nunes, can also be seen using her hand to keep her dead uncle's neck upright as she asked him to sign off a four-figure loan.
Pretending to have a conversation with him, she said: "Uncle, are you listening? You have to sign it. I can’t sign for you.
"Sign here and stop giving me a headache," she added as she asked the deceased old age pensioner to hold the pen between his fingers.
But her shameless drama was met by a silent response from the dead man.

One of the bank workers present at the scene said: "I don’t think this is legal. He doesn’t look well. He’s very pale."
To which Erika quipped: "He’s like that," before asking her uncle if he is unwell and wants to go to the hospital again.
Seeing the ordeal, the bank staff grew suspicious and started filming the pair before calling an ambulance.
