Man shows up alive at his own funeral

A Brazilian bricklayer was reported to have been killed in a car crash in southern Brazil.

Relatives identified the victim of the crash as 59-year-old Ademir Jorge Goncalves.

As is customary in Brazil, the funeral was held the following day.

Goncalves learned of his funeral and shocked his grieving family by showing up.

Not everyone can comfort mourners at their own funeral.

To paraphrase a well-known Mark Twain quote: rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated.
