Man Found Alive After His Funeral

More than 100 people attended Frederick McWherter Jr.'s funeral in E. St. Louis, Ill., only to find out he was still alive.

An open casket funeral was held Sunday for the man called Junior at the House of Prayer to All Nations Church -- but it wasn't Junior in the casket, the St. Louis Post Dispatch reported.

Not only was McWherter not dead, he was in a drug rehab center about seven miles from the funeral.

Everybody there mourned Junior's death, his father, Frederick McWherter Sr., told the Post-Dispatch. If anyone thought that was someone different, no one said anything. I buried my son, I thought. That's what everyone thought.

McWherter Sr., 67, was the one who identified the body. The similarity between the two men was uncanny, he said.

He looked just like my son, said McWherter Sr. He had two missing front teeth like my son. He had a beard like my son. The coroner asked if I needed to see another picture. I told him, 'I don't need another picture.' You'd think they were Siamese twins.
