Two teen-age girls walking in Medina Valley, Texas, on July 26 noticed something in a drainage ditch. It turned out to be a dead man, whom investigat­ors believe hanged himself from a railing using “what appeared to be a shirt,” Fox News reported. When the girls came upon the body, they called a friend, who called 911. But before officers arrived on the scene, the girls allegedly helped themselves to the dead man’s gold necklace, documentin­g the theft on Snapchat. The video was sent to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office, and deputies charged them with theft from a corpse — a felony.
