A Brazilian man surprised his friends and family by turning up at his own funeral.

Relatives had identified Ademir Jorge Goncalves as the victim of a car crash the day before but police say they did have trouble because the corpse was badly disfigured.

Goncalves showed up after villagers saw him walking on the street and informed him that his funeral was going on.

He had spent the night drinking with his friends.

Some relatives had questioned if the body really was Goncalves but since others said it was him they went ahead with the funeral.

The body was later correctly identified and buried.
