George Morales probably died in his minivan of a heart attack in early May, parked under the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway underpass. That didn't stop NYC cops from writing him parking tickets for the next couple of weeks.

According to Jennifer Morales, her father had been incomunicado since the beginning of May. She'd even reported his disappearance to the NYPD, but it wasn't until recently he was discovered dead in his minivan. A city marshal discovered George in his Chevy Venture as he was attempting to tow the car away due to the load of tickets which had been issued for repeated parking violations. You stay classy New York. (Hat tip to Chad!) [WCBS TV]
