Man's coffin kills wife on way to cemetery
A traffic accident hurls coffin against the back of woman's neck

SAO PAULO, Brazil - Police say a woman has died on the way to a cemetery when a traffic accident hurled her husband's coffin against the back of her neck.

Police said 67-year-old Marciana Silva Barcelos was in the front passenger seat of the hearse when the accident occurred Monday in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul.

Barcelos died instantly.

Her 76-year-old husband, Josi Silveira Coimbra, died Sunday of a heart attack while dancing at a party.

The driver of the hearse and Barcelos' son suffered minor injuries.

Her 76-year-old husband, Josi Silveira Coimbra, died Sunday of a heart attack while dancing at a party.That's quite a good way to go. The wife wasn't so lucky.

I can't figure out if it's poetic or tragic. Probably it's the sudden and violent manner that bothers me.

Oh, and I smell lawsuit. Don't they properly secure coffins in hearses?

Either way it was quick; can't complain too much. Even if it is like something out of a Six Feet Under episode.

Oh, and I smell lawsuit. Don't they properly secure coffins in hearses?It doesn't seem like it was a slight tap of bumpers.

Besides, who's left to sue? They're both dead.
