What will you do if you are at a burial and the person being buried shows up at his own funeral? lol, I can imagine most of you will pick race.

A family gathering to mourn the death of a relative were shocked to tears and fainting when the deceased man in question walked into his own funeral on Tuesday.  In a bizarre case of mistaken identity, news of car washer Gilberto Araujo's murder had been relayed to the family by local police in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Sunday. 

So it's true that God created us in twos, the resemblance is uncanny. Pls continue to read the rest of the story...

Mr Araujo with his mother at 'his' wake

Shortly after, his brother, Jose Marcos Araujo, was called into the morgue to make a positive identification on the body, he saw his brother lying on the table and took the corpse home so his family could hold a wake, not knowing that it was another car washer Genivaldo Santos Gam, who bears a striking resemblance to his brother, that had died. Police said that Jose Marcos took the body to his mother's home where a wake was held on Tuesday. 

'The confusion started when news started circulating that a car washer had been shot dead,' Jose Marcos' wife, Ana Paula, said

'Police called my husband and told him that his brother had been killed and his body was at the morgue,' she explained.

The police said the confusion was understandable, the two men closely resembled each other and both worked as car washers, adding that the family had not seen or heard from Mr Araujo in the four months before the case of mistaken identity.

A few hours before the Monday burial a friend of Gilberto's saw him walking down the street and told him that his family was mourning him, so he went to his mother's home to let everyone know he was very much alive. When Araujo showed up at his wake 'some people fainted and others were so scared they ran away. It was a big shock,' a family friend said.

Gilberto's mother Marina Santana told reporters: 'I am overjoyed. What mother wouldn't be after being told that her son is dead and then sees him alive.'
