A 41-year-old car washer shocked his family when he interrupted a funeral being held for him at his mother's home in the town of Alagoinhas in northeastern Brazil, police said Tuesday.

Police inspector Roberto Lima said by telephone that on Sunday Jose Marcos Araujo identified a body at the city morgue as being that of his brother, Gilberto. Lima said that Jose Marcos took the body to his mother's home where a wake was held.

"The confusion started when news started circulating that a car washer had been shot dead," Jose Marcos' wife, Ana Paula, told the UOL Internet news portal. "Police called my husband and told him that his brother had been killed and his body was at the morgue." Lima said the confusion was "understandable."

"The two men closely resembled each other and both worked as car washers," Lima said adding that the man whose body was in the morgue was named Genivaldo Santos Gama. He said further information on Gama was not immediately available.

A few hours before the Monday burial "a friend of Gilberto's saw him walking down the street and told him that his family was mourning him," he said. "So he went to his mother's home to let everyone know he was very much alive."

When Araujo showed up at his wake "some people fainted and others were so scared they ran away. It was a big shock," family friend Maria Menezes told the G1 online news site.


Gilberto's mother Marina Santana told reporters "I am overjoyed. What mother wouldn't be after being told that her son is dead and then sees him alive."

The child doesn't look like a two faced baby to me. It's an obvious case of genetic mutation. The mother was probably exposed to something unhealthy while pregnant that affected her baby's formation.

That eren't no extra face, it seem to be a kinda skin mask. Look beyond what ya see.

How joyful his family would have been to realise he didnt die afterall,then another family will go into mourning.

Sadness and joy.

Return of christ

Bury him again

Na wash !:-|

We need to learn from this brazillian police. learn to investigate and say the actual event that happened. I can imagine this happening in Nigeria.

We will never know the truth and the lies would be passed to generations. the most annoying thing is that the mother will come out and attribute the event to a covenant miracle as a result of cevenant tithing to a church and a lot of funny prediction videos will go viral online.

It is high time Nigeria and Africa wake up from their superstitious slumber.

...wait o, this happened in brazil? How come nobody called d guy's line? Or don't they have access to phone? Cos i know dt if d news of a person's death gets to me, my first reaction will be to call his line.

peterowode: why are they running away? are they not happy he is still alive

Most of them believe he is a ghost!

ATMC: ...wait o, this happened in brazil? How come nobody called d guy's line? Or don't they have access to phone? Cos i know dt if d news of a person's death gets to me, my first reaction will be to call his line.

my brother once called her friend who was sick,he made the call around 12pm in d morning and her girl picked the call and the spoke about her health condition. Later he went to see her around 2pm bt saw people and her siblings crying,he asked what was wrong and they told him her girl just passed away around 8am that morning. Then who picked and spoked wt hm was wat he asked them which evrryone was perplexed.,he even showed them the call history., this is nt a movie bt a life experience that am aware of.
So,i never try calling any number of a dead individual.
