A Cemetery worker has been suspended from his job for posing for a 'selfie' with a corpse.

The accused was pictured standing next to a mummified body of a man who died 23 years ago and who had been exhumed in order to bury him together with his wife, who passed away a fortnight back.

On the other side of the body was a man said to be part of the deceased's extended family, and the photograph was taken by the dead man's niece.

Local authorities in Guardamar del Segura (southern Alicante province) say they immediately approached the graveyard worker for explanations and have temporarily removed him from his role - although he will continue to carry out other jobs relating to the council.

Until that moment, the employee of the Nuestra Señora del Rosario cemetery was 'exemplary' and consider his being photographed with a dead body to be 'a one-off error' which he would not repeat.

Guardia Civil officers investigating the incident believe the photo spread round the internet after the deceased's niece sent it on straight away via WhatsApp.

If the family doesn't mind, then meh

If it's against a policy at his work, then punishment is deserved.

YOLO

Seriously though, if the family gives permission (by taking the fucking photo and posing with him) then it is okay.

I'm quiet sure the corpse didn't mind. After all it did pose with him didn't it?

[TheVrist]

He was posing, i'd understand if he was imitating getting a blow job, or dry humping the corpse's leg or somthing.

Somehow I don't think that would go over well with the boss man.

Now we know why Billthegravedigger hasn't been on for a while.
