A funeral director nearly dropped dead when he walked outside to find the minivan he used for business – along with the corpse inside – had vanished.

Paul DeNigris parked his 2002 Dodge in a "No Parking Anytime" zone outside Redden's Funeral Home on W. 14th St. Monday while he went in to handle some business. While he was inside, a police truck towed the vehicle to the city tow pound, reports the Daily News. 

"I was just a wreck," a grave DeNigris told the paper. "I was frantic. When something like that happens, you got into panic mode."
