Two in Hell's Kitchen bring dead man on trip to cash his Social Security check
Life imitated the movies Tuesday when two dopes wheeled a dead man around Hell's Kitchen in an office chair as they tried to cash his Social Security check, cops said.
The "Weekend at Bernie's" stunt was an attempt to collect 66-year-old Virgilio Cintron's dough less than a day after he died, police said. One suspect is Cintron's roommate.
"They didn't kill the guy. He died of natural causes. But they were all about not letting the situation go to waste," a police source said. "'How are we going to cash it? Let's bring him with us.' They must watch too many movies."
The roommate, James O'Hare, and his pal David Dalaia attempted to dress Cintron's corpse in a pair of pants, a T-shirt and sneakers, police said. When they couldn't get the pants to his waist, the 65-year-old men threw a jacket over his crotch and wheeled him from his W.52nd St. apartment to a check-cashing outlet around the block on Ninth Ave., police said.
"Witnesses observed Mr. Cintron flopping from side to side and these individuals propping him up as they rolled along," said NYPD spokesman Paul Browne.
The men left Cintron's body outside while they went into Pay-O-Matic, where Cintron always cashed his checks, police said.
An employee recognized the name on the $355 check, and when he asked to see Cintron, O'Hare said, "He's outside. We'll get him," according to police.
"They were trying to pass the guy off as alive," Pay-O-Matic clerk Mariano Galvez told the Daily News. "They just left the body in the chair outside."
The casual corpse on the sidewalk at 3:45p.m. drew a large crowd, including an on-duty detective who was eating lunch at a restaurant next-door. He reported the incident and called the Emergency Medical Service.
As O'Hare went to get Cintron, an ambulance arrived to cart his remains off to the morgue, police said. Moments later, O'Hare and Dalaia were taken to the Midtown North stationhouse, where last night police were preparing to charge them with check fraud.
A neighbor of the roommates, Jeff Bell, 51, said the pair had lived together for years and that Cintron had Alzheimer's disease.
In 1989's "Bernie" flick, two young pals cart their dead boss around, successfully passing him off as alive.

This is old news, Perez. Get your head out of your ass.
perez - this is an old story…..but crazy none the less
once again perez, like the cindy mccain newsweek cover, you're posting really old news. if its a slow news day, there's no need to post old crap, unless you give the post a title such as "Might Be Old News, But Did You Know…"
Are you getting paid per blog entry? Cause that would explain some things.
1. since when do we have to create a screen name and log in to make a comment.
2. this story is older than you perez. how about watching the news once in a while and stay out of celebrities bushes idiat!
who cares if its old?? its crazy!!!
haha and wheeling him round town in an office chair!!! lmao
fucken stoners
HAHAHAHAHAHA
THANK YOU PEREZ, for posting things that SOME PEOPLE (like me) didn't know about when it first happened!
These people leaving nasty comments need to pull their heads out of their asses and realize they need to get lives. if they know that it happened awhile ago, why waste their time by reading it? and it's technically still summer (even though school started last month) and maybe people have enough time to read stuff that happened when they were busy with thinks like work, school, and hangovers?
This story is so old. I remember reading it several months ago.
Re: CheshireBlonde – Because we were trying to see if it was the same story or not. And it was. But I didn't read all of it before I figured it out. Still, I'd rather get things current because I already read the news each day.
old old old.
Truth is stranger than fiction. I wonder if he smelled funny.
Hey, I only get my news from Perez, I appreciate old! If you don't want to read it then don't click on it
Totally old news!! What's going on here?!?! That story is at least 4 months old.

Perez… this is an old story… not just an old story but YOUR old story. Same pic and everything. Slow news day? Or did you think regular readers wouldnt notice?
This is from a long time ago, but it was pretty horrible.
Super old story. Like from months ago. Glitch?
