Walking in on your own Funeral

I was reading the Sacramento Bee and was looking at the "Strange Stuff" section which is on the second page. This section of the newspaper uses the oddity news value. I always love to read this section because it is so interesting. In the past, this section has had stories about a man hiding a gun in his fat rolls, someone stealing a ferret, and a guy with a pet crocodile. Today, the story was about a man from Brazil who was reported dead from a car crash, but came to his funeral the next day. His family identitfied the body and thought it was him, but obviously it was not. He heard about his own funeral while it was taking place and came to set things straight. It must have been such a surprise for the family and a happy one at that.
