One man went out in style thanks to three killers-turned-personal stylists.

Joshua Rose, 21, was dressed up and taken for a joy ride on Aug. 25 after he was strangled to death in Scranton, Pennsylvania, according to cops.

One of the suspects told police they put sunglasses and a hat on Rose for the drive.

Preston Layfield, 19, Tyler Mirabelli, 22, and Amanda Wayda, 20, are accused of using jumper cables to strangle Rose, reported news station WDJT. An autopsy has not been completed, but cops say he may have suffered a drug overdose at a home before he died of strangulation.

“The individual was probably having some sort of significant medical problem and for whatever their thought process was, it appears as though he was strangled,” Pennsylvania State Police Cpl. Mark Prushinski told news station WYOU.

The trio reportedly stopped for gas before dumping his body near train tracks in Hop Bottom, Pennsylvania.

“They drove right past the hospital and they continued north on Interstate 81 and why exactly they did that at this point, we’re not really sure,” Prushinski said.

All three of the suspects face assault and conspiracy charges.
