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 mean, I really shouldn't be laughing this hard (I might choke on my quick oats).

    Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends.

    I hear they put in jagged contact lenses for dead bodies as well, to keep the eyelids shut

    we don't want them dead eyes staring into our souls

    that's a real fluffy way to say absolutely nothing, you should write comics.

    Especially when someone inevitably got shitfaced and started trying to hold a conversation with him.

    sacrificing a boat just to burn your dead husk seems a little expensive

    seriously. he's 24, there's no way he honestly was contemplating morality to think "hey man, I want you to prop me up in the living room during my wake.
