NEWYORK, N.Y., March 31 (UPI) -- A man named Death is accused of stealing a fortune from a New York cemetery so he could have a better life, authorities say.
Donald Death Jr. was charged with stealing $293,000 in cash and services from the Locust Valley Cemetery Association, the New York Post said Thursday.
Nassau County prosecutor William Wallace said Death, as chairman, CEO and assistant treasurer, was able to write $170,000 in checks from the graveyard's account to his firm, Harbor Fuel Co., then transfer the money to his private checking account.
He also is charged with using a cemetery employee to provide free landscaping and other work at properties owned by Death and his dad, Donald Death Sr., who died last year.
The money has been repaid. But, Wallace said Death "paid it back only after it came to light."
