Man's Visit to His Future Grave Kills Him
Wed Sep 4, 9:16 AM ET
LASCARI, Sicily (Reuters) - Giovanni Greco sent himself, literally,
to an early grave.
Greco, 63, was so keen that his future mausoleum would be a
perfect fit that he liked to visit it ensure the builders were
making it just right.
But his latest visit proved to be his last.
According to local media reports, Greco was making his regular
trip to the construction site in the small cemetery in his
hometown of Lascari at the weekend.
He climbed a ladder to get a better view of the top of the
mausoleum when he slipped, hit his head on a marble step, and
fell into his own tomb.
