Today [Friday the 13th] was the last day that mourners would have been able to see Nelson Mandela’s body, before it would be put to rest at the village of Qunu, Sunday. South Africans were told by police that they could not accommodate the large amount of mourners, therefore not everyone would be able to pay their last respects. That’s when they all decided to push their way past police to view the open casket one last time. SAD! As more details emerge, we’ll keep you filled in.
(PHOTO) Boxing: Hector “Macho” Camacho Has Open Casket Farewell
I’ve never been good with deaths (not that anyone really is), but the whole open casket thing has always freaked me out a bit. And the whole taking a picture of the body? That’s just crazy to me. It’s such a sad situation, but at least fans have a chance to pay their respects. Hector “Macho” Camacho’s body is currently on display at a public viewing (photo in gallery) in Puerto Rico — three days after the boxing legend’s death. GameTimeGirl
