‘I’m alive:’ Man turns up to his own funeral after disappearing on a bender

Old mate was having a bit too much of a good time

We’ve all had a mate who has disappeared on a night out.

But an Argentinian man has taken that to the next level, shocking mourners after showing up to his own funeral.

According to The Sun, the 22-year-old man disappeared on a multi-day bender in Alderetes when his family wrongly identified him as dead.

The bizarre mix-up began after a man was mown down by a sugarcane truck last week.

The following day, a woman turned up to the police station claiming the victim was her son when she recognised his clothing and some physical features

As the funeral took place, friends and family were shocked to see the same man stagger in, alive, well, and fresh off a several-day bender.

He stunned attendees, declaring: “I’m alive.”

It turns out the man they believed was dead had been having too much of a good time.

The wrongly identified body was returned to the correct family and finally laid to rest.
