Changing Places
The front tyre of a hearse punctured on a broken bottle near a Mexico, City cemetery, and the hearse struck a tree and killed the driver. Then mourners heard thuds from the coffin, and muffled cries of “I’m not dead,” and “Don’t bury me.” The “corpse” Teodomira Marin Zarate, 43, of Elefino, near Toluca, who had apparently dropped “dead” after a hard day’s work in the fields, is now described as “alive and well.”
