Corpse kept standing upright for 3-day wake


Puerto Rico - A Puerto Rican man has been granted his wish to remain standing—even in death. A funeral home used a special embalming treatment to keep the corpse of 24-year-old Angel Pantoja Medina standing upright for his three-day wake.

Pantoja was found dead Friday underneath a bridge in San Juan and buried Monday. Police are investigating.
