Man Crushed To Death By Own Mother’s Coffin At Funeral

An Indonesian man was killed at his own mother’s funeral after her coffin fell from a funeral tower.

Samen Kondorura, 40, was tragically trapped beneath the coffin after pallbearers lost their footing while carrying it up a bamboo ladder. The casket fell as the men hoisted it onto a lakkian – a tower where the dead are placed before the funeral rites are conducted.
