DEAD MAN'S PHONE RINGS INSIDE COFFIN
(Belgium) - The family members of a dead motorcyclist are pressing charges against bungling Antwerp undertakers after the man's mobile phone began ringing in his coffin as they sat beside it in a chapel.
Marc Marchal, 32, was killed when his motorbike collided with a tractor near his hometown of Rochefort. Marchal was so badly mutilated in the accident that undertakers advised his family that the coffin should remain closed as they said their last farewells.
The family gathered for a private remembrance service in the undertakers' premises the night before Marchal's funeral and were horrified when his mobile phone began ringing from within the coffin.
Some of the relatives were so shocked they ran into the street, while undertaker staff rushed to remove the cell phone from the dead man's clothing.
