Dead Man Given Parking Ticket?

MELBOURNE, Australia -- A man lay dead in his car while a parking inspector put a parking ticket on his windshield.
The man, in his 20s, was slumped in the front seat after dying of a suspected drug overdose, but a parking officer in suburban Melbourne issued a fine on the car as it was parked on a highway.
The officer thought the driver was asleep and did not try to rouse him. Ambulance officers were called some 40 minutes later.
A council spokesman said the incident had distressed the parking officer who had been offered counselling.
"The parking officer honestly believed the person in the car was intoxicated and sleeping it off," he said.
