A grave digger in Alicante, Spain, was asked by the niece and nephew of a deceased man to exhume him, to rebury him in a plot with his wife who had recently passed. He'd been dead 23 years.
Nothing unusual so far. Except when the family saw their uncle's body had been mummified, they asked the gravedigger to stand him up, so they could take a photograph. The gravedigger duly obliged, and the corpse is pictured standing between him and the nephew while niece took the photo.
Then niece shared it on Whatsapp. It went viral:
'The man's niece said she didn't mean to upset anyone and said she just wanted to show the dead man's sister how his body had been mummified.'
'She said: "We never thought this could have such serious consequences, and I did not want to show any lack of respect for my uncle." '
Officials say the gravedigger will probably keep his post, as he didn't mean any harm.
