Dead man stands throughout 3-day wake - GoFuckYourself.com

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - A Puerto Rican man has been granted his wish to remain standing ? even in death.

A funeral home used a special embalming treatment to keep the corpse of 24-year-old Angel Pantoja Medina standing upright for his three-day wake.

Dressed in a Yankees baseball cap and sunglasses, Pantoja was mourned by relatives while propped upright in his mother's living room.

His brother Carlos told the El Nuevo Dia newspaper the victim had long said he wanted to be upright for his own wake: "He wanted to be happy, standing."

The owner of the Marin Funeral Home, Damaris Marin, told The Associated Press the mother asked him to fulfill her dead son's last wish.

Pantoja was found dead Friday underneath a bridge in San Juan and buried Monday. Police are investigating.

I was living in Pittsburgh when that happened. I am a Steelers fan, but not sure I will take it that far when my number is up.

Kristian · 08-20-2008, 04:19 PM

Weirder than that...is the dude kissing the corpse.

Sherri I am originally from the Pittsburgh area. Were you born in that area, or just lived there for a while?

digifan · 08-20-2008, 08:32 PM

People are getting more and more weird...

AVNSherri · 08-20-2008, 08:52 PM

Stickyfingerz ... I just lived there when I was married. My ex grew up in Fox Chapel. But I am a die-hard fan of the city, not just the sports teams. I grew up in Youngstown, Ohio, so I was only an hour from the 'Burgh. Actually flying there later this year and heading straight to Primanti's once I get out of the airport! What area are you from?

Monique Niccole · 08-20-2008, 09:03 PM

I saw that yesterday and I LOL'd for about 2 minutes. People are so creepy. And I would never kiss a dead body...yuck.

aico · 08-20-2008, 09:06 PM

I wonder how many wishes they granted him when he was alive.

tony286 · 08-20-2008, 09:10 PM

that's why I want to be cremated.

JamesK · 08-20-2008, 09:20 PM
