A Spanish grave digger simply identified as Clemente, has been suspended
from work after appearing in a pose with a corpse he just dug up. The
corpse was buried 23 years ago and in the recent photograph, Clemente
was seen together with the nephew of the dead man while another relation
took the shot with her phone.
The man’s body had been exhumed as his grave was being extended so his
recently deceased wife could be added to the tomb, reports The Local.
Clemente was pictured wearing his official blue polo shirt emblazoned
with the town’s coat-of-arms – a move which infuriated officials at the
town hall in Guardamar del Segura, near Alicante.
After taking the weird photo, the niece sent it to other family members,
who then posted it to social media. Unsurprisingly, it was shared
numerous times and seen by thousands of people, leading to an
investigation by the town’s civil guard, who suspended the grave digger
from his duties.
A municipal representative said: “It was silliness with no justification whatsoever and we will have to take a decision.”
Felipe Aldeguer, an elected official from the town said that the
incident was “unpleasant, miserable”, but he added that the digger “had
not acted in bad faith”.
