Man finds 'dead' brother moving in body bag

A man found his ''dead'' brother moving inside a body bag.

''All I needed to do was put some new clothes on him, so he'd be ready for the undertaker to come and collect him ... But as I got closer I could see it [the bag] wriggling.''

Walterio Goncalves arrived at the morgue in Salvador, on the Northeast coast of Brazil, to find the burial bag that was meant to contain the body of his ''dead'' brother moving up and down.

He told Brazil's G1 website: ''We had already made all the arrangements for my brother's funeral.

''All I needed to do was put some new clothes on him, so he'd be ready for the undertaker to come and collect him ... But as I got closer I could see it [the bag] wriggling.''

Walterio's brother Valdelucio - who has stomach cancer - was immediately transferred to the intensive care unit after being found alive.
