NYC sought to fire man for missing work -- but he'd died

Facepalm.

NEW YORK - New York City tried to fire an employee for missing about 18 months of work -- though he was dead during some of that time.

The New York Post reported Saturday on the case of Geoffrey Toliver.

The city Human Resources Administration accused the $38,000-a-year Medicaid eligibility specialist of abandoning his job as of November 2013. An administrative law judge recommended last month that Toliver be fired, noting that he didn't appear for a July 1 hearing.

He couldn't: He'd died of cancer last Dec. 8, at 65.
