Daughter Keeps Dad's Death Secret To Save Money

Bizarre actions seem to have accompanied a man’s death on an Amtrak train bound for Chicago.

Police said a woman rode with her father’s body for 23 hours before she reported in to authorities.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office said Daniel Stepanovich, 80, of Hammond, Ind., was pronounced dead of natural causes just after midnight Tuesday.

But his daughter told officials that her father died Sunday evening, just as the eastbound train was pulling into Glenwood Springs, Colorado. She said she did not tell anyone because she could not afford to ship his body home to Chicago.

A neighbour said the father, who had been diagnosed with cancer, had talked of taking "one last train ride."
