A Brazilian man gave his relatives the shock of their lives when he turned up at his own wake at his mother's home.
The family was gathered around a coffin thought to contain 41-year-old car washer Gilberto Araujo when he appeared, causing some people to faint and others to flee in fear.
The dead man, said to closely resemble Gilberto, is believed to be another car washer who was murdered at the weekend.
Gilberto's brother said he had wrongly identified him in the mortuary.
Jose Marcos Araujo said he had not seen his brother in four months.
He had heard news that a car washer had been killed, and when he saw a body in the mortuary which looked very much like his brother, he assumed it was Gilberto.
