Um, there's strange, and then there's bizarre...

 

Dead Teenager Kept in Home 36 Years

 

HANOI (Reuters) - The family of a 17-year-old Vietnamese boy who died 36 years ago kept his body in their home after a fortune teller told relatives they had buried the teenager alive by mistake.

 

The boy's family thought he had died in 1968 of illness, but a herbal medicine man said told the father his son was still alive after the burial, the Ho Chi Minh City Police newspaper said on Tuesday.

 

Stricken with remorse, the father dug up the body and displayed it in a glass-covered coffin, keeping it in the family home in southern An Giang until he recently confessed the macabre secret to a police news reporter.

 

The newspaper ran a photo of the dead boy's brother posing with his arms folded next to the coffin of his sibling. The body of the boy had not decomposed, the report said.

Slight bump to keep this quite useful thread on the first page...

 

If this were to turn out to be Four Donkeys, the ramifications would be hilarious:

Jeez, have you checked out the discussion forums on that site? Full of people making sickly sweet comments about complete strangers who died over 100 years ago.

 

"Verda, you are such a sweet child, you must be with your mommy and daddy by now."

 

No sh1t, Sherlock - the photo was taken in about 1870.

Very good, in fact. Level seven will drive you bonkers.

Level seven will drive you bonkers.

You're not kidding. I can cruise through level 6 but then level 7 slaps me about, laughs at me & steals my lunch money.

Okay, probably old news in the UK, but sheesh!
