He was shedding tears at the head of his family's coffin! He walked to his own funeral.

The incident reported to have occurred in Brazil in 2012 left witnesses stunned. The 41‑year‑old Gilberto Aro, who worked as a car washer, was reported shot and killed. The brother called to the morgue also believed the body shown to him belonged to Gilberto.

The family began funeral preparations after the tragic news. While relatives wept at the head of Gilberto's coffin, an unexpected development unfolded.

After saying, 'Your funeral is coming,' he called his family.

According to reports, Gilberto learned from a friend he met on the road that his own funeral was being arranged. He then tried to convince his family over the phone that he was alive. However, his relatives on the line did not believe him and thought it was a cruel joke.

Unable to convince his family, Gilberto decided to attend the funeral held at his mother's house.

When he entered through the door, everyone froze.

Gilberto's live attendance at his funeral ceremony caused great surprise among those close to him. It was suggested that some relatives who were mourning at the head of the coffin fainted, while others fled from the windows in fear.

His family could not believe what they were witnessing when they saw Gilberto, whom they thought had died, standing before them. Subsequent investigations revealed that the body in the morgue did not belong to Gilberto but to a colleague who resembled him extremely closely.

The Wrong Diagnosis in the Morgue Revealed the Truth

According to reports, during the diagnosis carried out in darkness, Gilberto's brother mistakenly identified the corpse as that of his older brother. The fact that the deceased closely resembled Gilberto was cited as the main cause of the confusion.

Thus it became apparent that Gilberto, whom his family had believed to be dead, was alive. The story of the man who attended his own funeral highlighted the shocking consequences that a mistaken identity diagnosis could produce.
