A man who was driving from Arizona to Michigan decided to complete the long journey even after he discovered his 31-year-old girlfriend had died in the seat next to him.

Tomlinson said somewhere after they passed through Texas or Oklahoma, he tried to nudge his girlfriend awake, only to discover that she was dead — most likely of an overdose.
Not wanting to call authorities and leave her so far from home, Tomlinson said he did some research on his phone, and figured he had 48 hours to get her to a morgue. At one point, the Arizona mental facility where his girlfriend had been staying called to check on her condition, and Tomlinson told them that she couldn't talk because ... she was dead. The caller urged Tomlinson to call police, he later said he didn't because he was afraid they would arrest him and take his van.
When they finally made it back home a day later, police arrived at Tomlinson's home to find him sobbing on the curb, his dead girlfriend still in the passenger seat, and his elderly mother in a wheelchair in the back of the vehicle.
Although the police commissioner questioned whether Tomlinson had committed a crime or if the incident was just plain stupidity, Tomlinson admitted he probably should have done things differently, adding that he 'loved her very much, and that he had just lost a very clos
