www.telegraph.co.uk said:

A Brazilian bricklayer reportedly killed in a car crash shocked his mourning family by turning up alive at his funeral.

Relatives of Ademir Jorge Goncalves, 59, had identified him as the victim of a car crash on Sunday in Parana state in southern Brazil, police said.

As is customary in Brazil, the funeral was held the following day, which happened to be the holiday of Finados, when Brazilians visit cemeteries to honour the dead.

What family members did not know was that Mr Goncalves had spent the night at a truck stop talking with friends over drinks of a sugarcane liquor known as cachaca, his niece Rosa Sampaio told the O Globo newspaper. He did not hear about his own funeral until it was already taking place on Monday morning.

A police spokesman in the town of Santo Antonio da Platina said Mr Goncalves rushed to the funeral to let his family know he was alive.

"The corpse was badly disfigured, but dressed in similar clothing," said the police spokesman. "People are afraid to look for very long when they identify bodies, and I think that is what happened in this case."

That's quite a casual way to identify a body: "Well it looks a little like Ademir, bury him."

That is funny! Can you imagine being at a loved ones funeral and they show up? Amazing. I cab understand how there would be confusion looking at the person in the coffin. When my cousin died and I looked at him at the funeral it looked NOTHING like him and it was him. He died of cancer and had lost a LOT of weight. He was a big rugged guy in life. In the coffin he even looked shorter. And he had a beard which was odd. I never saw him with a beard or glasses and a suit. He had all of those. Very strange.

  • A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

It would be nice if that happened more often... wouldnt it be nice to find out a loved one is still alive.... :unsure:
