Oh. My. God. The body of deceased Angel Pantoja Medina stands erect and leans against a wall by his coffin during his own wake in his mother's home in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Monday, Aug. 18, 2008. The last wish of Medina, 24, who was found dead on Aug. 15, 2008 underneath a bridge in the capital, was to be standing at his own wake, and was embalmed for the occasion.

There are no words. There are giggles, however, at the ghetto-fabulous Yankees cap and D&G shades. Represent!
That must have been very disturbing for the Mother and the guests. Excepting the Fude giving him a hickey in the first pic.

Not so odd. Old Irish custom, waking the dead in their home. My father saw it many times growing up in 1920's Jersey City. Much drinking involved.
