Macabre photo
Celestino Reyna finds a mummified corpse while working. But instead of burying the corpse directly again, the gravedigger first takes a scary photo with him.
It is actually a normal working day for gravedigger Celestino Reyno . The wife of a man already buried in the cemetery in Torrevieja (Valencia) died recently. She too is to be buried in the family grave. At the request of her niece, Celestino Reyno must exhume the dead buried 23 years ago and then dismantle the skeleton to save space. However, no one suspects at this time, in which state the corpse is actually.
When Celestino Reyno gets the body out, everyone is speechless. It is not a skeleton but a mummified corpse! The body of the dead is amazingly well preserved. His niece is so surprised that she asks the gravedigger to hold the body so she can take a photo for his sister. Her husband also poses in the photo. Pretty macabre!

The niece sends the photo via Whatsapp to her relatives. In this way it also gets into various social networks and spreads rapidly in the network. The local authorities are also aware of the scary snapshot. Celestino Reyno will be suspended from work. But the gravedigger is lucky: he will keep his job at the city, according to "El Mundo", because he "did not act with malice."
Meanwhile, the case was handed over to the criminal police . This determined now because of grave desecration against those involved. "We never thought that could have such serious consequences. And I did not want to act disrespectful of my uncle, " says the dead man's niece. Unfortunately, ignorance does not protect against punishment.
A really macabre story!
