A woman was filmed taking a ‘dead’ man to a cashpoint to use his fingerprint to withdraw money.

Footage shows the unresponsive man sitting in a wheelchair in front of the cashpoint in Brazil.

A blonde woman is standing next to him with one of her hands on the back of his neck to support his head.

With her other hand, she places his index finger on a pad so the machine can read his fingerprint.

She takes her hand off his neck and grips his arm to keep it extended.

As she does this, his head lolls backwards.

She props up his head again and grabs a wad of cash as the machine ejects it.

She stuffs it down her top as the footage ends, as reported on Need To Know.

At the time of reporting, the police had not received any reports about the incident.

It is not clear if the man in the footage was actually dead or if the video posted last week was a skit.

Social media users said it reminded them of the “Uncle Paulo” case in Rio de Janeiro in April.

Then, Érika de Souza Vieira Nunes wheeled her unresponsive uncle into a bank branch in a failed bid to take out a loan.

The images of her talking to Paulo Roberto Braga while propping up her pallid relative’s limp head went all around the world.

Clerks were stunned when Nunes, 42, tried to get the dead man to sign some papers in a bid to borrow 17,000 BRL (£2,500).

They called the police, who arrested her on suspicion of attempted theft by way of fraud and desecration of a corpse.

She spent two weeks in custody before being released on bail.

Anselmo commented on the latest video: “Every day an Uncle Paulo.”

Joel enquired: “Is this becoming a trend now?”

And Mario joked: “Uncle Pedro, Uncle Paulo’s brother!”
