Men take friend's body on boy's night out 'running up tab on corpse's card'

Two men are accused of loading their friend's dead body into a car, hitting a bar in Denver, then another bar in Aurora, before taking him home. Jeffrey Jarrett was 43 years old when he died last month. How he died is still under investigation.

Robert Jeffrey Young and Mark Rubinson then ended their night at Shotgun Willie's in Glendale. They allegedly took $400 out of Jarrett's account. Reports say Young and Rubinson now face charges of abusing a corpse, identity theft and criminal impersonation.



"I'm horrified, I'm absolutely, I can't even put into words, I can't imagine anybody thinking that maybe their friend is in trouble and not calling 911," a horrified relative of Jarrett's said. The relative accused Young, Jarrett's roommate, of neglecting to call for help when he found Jarrett dead in their home.

Instead, it was only on the way home that the duo reportedly flagged down a Glendale police officer and told him about the body at home. Family members, who describe Jarrett as a loving father, graduate of Colorado State University, and a hockey player, say the treatment his body was given is something they are struggling with. Jarrett's family says that while they will continue to mourn his loss, they hope for justice in this case.
