A gravedigger has been suspended and a family subjected to ridicule after posing with the corpse of a man who died 23 years ago.
An image of council worker Celestino Reyna, 55, alongside the cadaver and the husband of the dead man’s niece, was sent to her work colleagues via Whatsapp.
The photo then ended up on social media, where is was then widely shared – and Mr Reyna recognised by his employers.
‘We never thought this could have such serious consequences, and I did not want to show any lack of respect for my uncle,’ the apologetic niece, who wishes to remain anonymous, said.
Local councillor Felipe Aldeguer confirmed the gravedigger had been suspended but didn’t think he’d be fired.
‘At the end of the day the man’s family were there and it seems they were the ones that instigated this. He just foolishly agreed to what they wanted,’ he added.
Spanish police also confirmed that the two men were facing a court probe on suspicion of profaning a body, independent of the council inquiry.

The Spaniards flip out over this but do nothing about the hunters who brutally torture their ‘unwanted’ dogs to death.

Wait a minute. There’s a company policy against this? I wish I had known because to be perfectly honest this sort of thing happened all the time at the last place I worked...

It’s amazing how many places that quote is applicable in.

That’s certainly an odd way to meet senoritas.

Darrell was so tough as a toddler, he bit the heads off his animal crackers.
