It was that of a missing man, and now his family wants to know to how officers could ticket the vehicle numerous times - and never notice what was inside.
Jennifer Morales wondered how her father's body could go unnoticed for so long.
"I'm shocked. I'm surprised, um...," Morale said.
The daughter of 58-year-old George Morales wants everyone to remember her handyman father in a different way, not as a decomposed body found in a van under the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway on Wednesday. He'd been dead a month, in a van with four parking tickets.
His daughter suspects George Morales, who suffered from diabetes and heart problems, may have felt ill, and pulled off the road for a nap. A window was cracked. The odour became overpowering. After the car was ticketed each Monday for a month, a marshal, about to tow the van, noticed a body in the back seat. Jennifer Morales said it should be a lesson to all traffic agents and police officers: don't ticket without looking inside.
