Puerto Rican Funeral Home Presents Shooting Victim on His Motorcycle [w/video]
If you thought you'd previously seen it all, well, you're wrong. Case in point: David Morales Colón, a 22-year-old Puerto Rican man who was shot to death last Thursday, and whose wake is now making headlines here in the United States mainland. How come? Well, suffice it to say that the funeral directors at Marin Funeral Home in San Juan's Hato Rey neighborhood have a flair for the unorthodox. For example, in 2008, they embalmed another young shooting victim and displayed his body standing up for the duration of a multi-day wake. Back to the present: Yesterday and today, callers who stopped to pay their final respects to the late Mr. Colón got a bit of a surprise. Instead of the traditional presentation of the body in a casket, Mr. Colón's corpse, dressed in casual duds and sunglasses, was instead posed in a very lifelike position atop his Repsol-liveried Honda CBR600 F4. According to Puerto Rico's Primera Hora newspaper, the motorcycle was given to the victim by his uncle, and upon Mr. Colón's untimely demise, family members delivered the bike to the funeral home specifically for this unusual wake. Finally, we've got a video posted after the jump. We'll say this: David Morales Colón rides into the afterlife in memorable style. |

For some reason, it is a little creepy. Thought I saw him move for a second.  |

Re: Puerto Rican Funeral Home Presents Shooting Victim on His Motorcycle [w/video]
did they get him the ride AFTER his death? Figures. Spending money on the dead rather than on the living.
