Man Returns Home And Surprises His Family At His Funeral


Juan Ramón Alfonso Penayo had been presumed dead after left his family’s home on Thursday last week on the border of Paraguay and Brazil and wasn’t seen since. The family home is in an area fraught with rival drug gangs and when Penayo didn’t return home, his family feared the worst.

A charred body was found by police on Sunday, who came to the conclusion that the unidentifiable body was Penayo’s. Shortly after learning the news, his grieving family held a funeral for their 20-year-old son in their village. Shockingly, Penayo returned home to discover his family mourning over a coffin they thought held their son’s body.

Following Penayo’s return, the now-joyous family returned the unidentified body to the morgue. Officials have said that if no one else claims the body, it will be labelled NN, from the Latin nomen nescio – name unknown.
