Standing Tall

24-year-old Angel Pantoja Medina of Puerto Rico apparently told his family that when he passes away, he wants to stand upright through his wake. Well, his family granted his wish. Dressed in a Yankees cap, sunglasses and a gold chain, Angel was mourned by family members while standing tall in his mother's living room for 3 days.

The funeral home told The Associated Press that they used a special embalming treatment to keep him standing. His brother said, "He wanted to be happy, standing."

The police are currently investigating Angel's death. His body was found underneath a bridge last Friday.

I guess it's not that strange. I mean, I want half of my ashes stuffed into one of Shauna Sand's exquisite lucite heels. I want the other half scattered along Robertson Blvd. That way I will always be with international supermodel Phoebe Price. Oh and save a line of my ashes for Amy Wino. I want her to snort me up, Keith Richards-style.

Okay, I take it back. After going through these pictures, I need someone to hold my hand and feed me a Twinkie. I'm a little uncomfortable

Thanks Davina & Charo

What is up with his face? Why are his lips pursed? Like he's all "Sup?"

Oh fuck, I'm getting more creeped out by the moment.

Aw man....I didn't even THINK about the smell?

Do embalmed bodies still smell?

Nevermind. Don't answer. I don't want to know.

If his body was found under a bridge, shouldn't it still be in a coroners office? Y'know to find out how he died & shit?

Your Mom Ate the....what did people use to do in the 19th century???

And I don't think the corpse would really smell after 3 days, since they embalmed him. Embalming is what prevents decomposition temporarily so they can get through the funeral and stuff.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! I don't deal w/ death well to begin with. Intellectually, I know the person is dead, but the horror movie fan in me always expects them to start laughing & stroking people's faces w/ their gnarled hands & shit.

If that's what he wanted, then great. I don't think him standing is the creepy part. Looking at pictures all over the Internet of people kissing his standing corpse is the creepy part!!!
-----
That creeped me out too. It's not unusual for people to kiss the dead, but this is odd. Kind of like at my pepaw's funeral. My memaw went over to his casket and planted a kiss right on his lips for like three seconds. I was pretty horrified, but at the same time, it shows how deeply she must have loved him if it didn't even phase her to do that.

That said, it still looks like they just waited until he had rigor mortis and then propped him against the wall. *shudder*

Why do people have all of these special requests for after they die? It doesn't affect you, you're dead. It does, however, affect your family and they shouldn't have to deal with a creepy standing dead person hanging around for 3 days.
