Man the Government trys to get money from you even in death.
A MAN lay dead in his car while a parking inspector put a parking ticket on his windscreen.
The man, aged in his 20's, was slumped in the front seat after dying of suspected drug overdose.
But a parking officer in suburban Melbourne issued a fine on the car as it was parked on a clearway early on Tuesday morning.
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 destressed 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.
