Woman who wheeled her dead uncle's corpse into bank to withdraw loan says she ... trends now

A mother-of-six who was seen on video wheeling the corpse of her uncle to a bank and trying to grip his hand over a pen has revealed that she was not aware that he was dead when she attempted to get him to sign for a $3,250 loan.

Erika de Souza, 42, also claimed she does not recall taking Paulo Braga, 68, to the branch on April 16 in the Rio de Janeiro town of Bangu and interacting with the workers, who called the police because they were alarmed by her behavior. 

De Souza, who is being investigated in Brazil for manslaughter, was released from jail Thursday and said she does not remember a lot of what took place on the bizarre, uneventful visit to the bank. 

She revealed she is currently under psychiatric treatment and that she took Zolpidem, a sedative prescribed to treat insomnia. 

'I can't remember much,' de Souza said in an interview with Brazilian news magazine show Fantastico.  

'I don't know if it was the effect of the medicine that day,' she added, claiming that she may have taken more those than prescribed by her doctor. 

Surveillance cameras showed de Souza pushing the wheelchair through a mall parking lot and then through the shopping center's hallways before she strolled inside the bank. 

Footage showed her walking away from a bank employee's desk and the worker placing her hand behind Braga's head, unaware that he was dead. 

De Souza would return with a cup of water and tried to feed it to the corpse. She was seen on a cell phone video talking to her dead uncle while trying to grip a pen with his right hand to sign the loan document.
