Jomar Aquayo's corpse is seated at a dominoes table at his mum's bar |
Although he appears to be deep in thought as he plans out his next dominoes move while his friends party around him, he is actually dead, and he is being the guest of honour at his own wake.
Dressed in a blue tracksuit, Jomar sat with his head bowed as friends and family took it in turns to sit on the chairs surrounding him, while dance music played from the juke box. The young man, who had a gun on his corpse when police found him, was one of three killed in what was thought to be a drugs related incident. Four more were wounded.
This is not the first time a corpse has been allowed to be present at his own wake in Puerto Rico. The Marín funeral directors has also embalmed a keen boxer to make him look as though he was gearing up for his last fight, and a corpse riding a motorbike.
