NEW YORK — A New York City woman says her father apparently lay dead for weeks in a minivan while police repeatedly left parking tickets on the vehicle.

Jennifer Morales of Manhattan told the New York Daily News on Thursday that she believes her father, George Morales, died of a heart attack.

Morales said she last heard from her dad in early May. She said she had contacted police, but police say they have no report on record.

A city marshal found the body of George Morales on Wednesday while trying to tow the minivan from beneath the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway overpass. Parking tickets and dust covered the vehicle.

I'm assuming he was in the back of the van where no one could see him.

Otherwise this would be very surprising news.

Of course, cars get towed out my way if they're abandoned for over 24 hours after getting stickered. And I'm pretty rural.
