Ademir Jorge Gonçalves “The Typhoon”, Walked Into His Own Funeral

Ademir Jorge "Typhoon" Gonçalves showed up to his own wake in Brazil.

A fifty-nine year-old bricklayer in Brazil was mistakenly pronounced dead when his family members wrongly identified a man who died in a car crash in Santo Antônio da Platina in the state of Parana. Ademir Jorge Goncalves, the not-deceased, who is also known as “Typhoon”, which is awesome, spent the evening drinking in a gas station, which is also awesome, and didn’t learn of his family’s mistake until the morning of the wake which was held on November 2nd. Sounds like an average weekend for us. He raced to the funeral home where he pleasantly surprised everyone involved, except for funeral director Nathaniel Honorato. Neither family—Typhoon’s nor the real dead guy’s—will pay for the all-night vigil that came complete with hot chocolate.

Queen of the Hills Funeral Home director, Nathaniel Honorato poses with the unnamed dead guy. No one has paid him for his services.
