"Friends brought a coffin with the body of a 17-year-old boy into a soccer match Sunday between Cucuta Deportivo and Envigado," according to Colombia Reports. Christopher Jacome was a huge fan of Cucuta. He lived for the team. The young man was gunned down Saturday in a local park while playing soccer. To honor his love of soccer and Cucuta, his friends took his body from the funeral home after the wake and brought it into General Santander Stadium for the game. "They don't let in the fanatics, but yes, a cadaver. This is the only part of the world where this has happened," Julio Rivera, medic for Cucuta, told the paper. Stadium officials say they will hold a meeting to find out who allowed the dead body to be brought to the match."
Once again - WOW!!! Imagine if you just happened to be standing next to the group of friends with the coffin and Cucuta scores a goal. The stadium goes crazy and everyone is jumping and out drops the body right on top of you! That would freak me out for a good long time. According to the paper, at one point they were passing his coffin around the stands. It was like "Cadaver surfing." This really reminds me of the movie "Weekend at Bernie's," which is referenced in the article so I am not the first to think of it.
Only in Colombia I guess...
