She explained that her husband declined the ride and the driver pulled off nonchalantly. The body appeared to be “real and female,” but the woman’s husband wasn’t sure if the person was alive or not because there was “little to no movement.”
The woman said that her husband thinks that the person might be alive. The man notified the police, Lyft, and the airport.

The woman shared that she’s been trying to convince her husband to get on Twitter to share the story since it’s his to tell. “It’s more my husband’s story than mine,” she exclusively told Beasley Media Group. “Also just happened last night at 10 pm midway airport, Chicago-and he’s still processing”
