Gravedigger takes selfie with mummified corpse near Alicante

THE ‘selfie’ phenomenon that dominated early 2014 is being brought back from the dead.

Literally…

A gravedigger from Alicante, has been suspended after posting a picture of himself grinning with the mummified corpse of a man dead for 23 years.

Celestino Reyna was pictured with the dead man’s nephew after he dug up the corpse.

The 55-year-old gravedigger has been suspended from his position and moved to another role at the council while an investigation is carried out.
