"A young man's wish to remain standing in death has been fulfilled. Through a special embalming treatment, Angel Pantoja Medina, left, remained upright in a corner at his mother's home in San Juan, Puerto Rico, for his three-day wake. Here, family members bid goodbye to the 24-year-old Monday."

Yeah... that's not creepy... not at all.

I would **** my pants if I saw a dead corpse standing upright at a wake. Literally, I would **** them.

 

[Evelisse]

They should have posed him holding a drink or something.

 

[CashforStash]

Looks like the family couldent afford a Coffin, so they brainstormed really quickly.

R.I.P. to who ever died.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

And it had to be the most stereotypical looking Puerto Rican young guy too didn't it?

 

[Eggyman]

Mmm I always wanted to look at pictures of an upright corpse while eating my lunch

Because the thread title wasn't descriptive enough to allow you to avoid it.

When I die, I want to have a Mozart styled funeral where they just shove me in a burlap sack and throw me in my plot.

P.S. How'd the kid die in the first place?

 

[AndThePickles]

That is incredibly disturbing

I probably shouldn't laugh, but how can you not?

 

[StrainedEyes]

He looks like he's flexing.

 

[darkseid26]

thats nasty, are his lips decaying in the second pic?

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

he isnt really dead, it's a benefits scam...

I know it seems really weird, but the practice is quite common in latin culture. The body of a loved one will be brought home, and usually sat in a chair. The family pays their last respects. They may leave flowers with the body, hold the hand of the deceased and pray, etc.

Personally I think the whole idea of embalming a body just so it can be preserved for a week is weird, but thats just me.

 

[Jspider13]

that is just too bizarre. Sorry.

OhDear

 

[jaguarr]

This pic...just...creepy as all hell...

[Crook]

@ that fella being all decked up and looking OG even in death.

 

[Fading]

It's creepy to me, but if it was the guy's dying wish and the family and his friends are ok with it, guess I really have no right ot say anything against it. It just reminds me not to ask for anything special for my funeral, guess I should cross Carrot top telling jokes with my corpse as a prop off my list....

 

[Groovetopia]

That...is...just...CREEPY. I don't think I would be able to attend that wake.

 

[Darthphere]

Who the **** dressed him?

 

[jaguarr]

Who the **** dressed him?

His Momma. And she dressed him funny, too!

[Mr Sparkle]

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

I think this is one of the creepiest stories I've read on the Hype.

That's....just wrong. Eww..
