| U.S. Farmer Dies Again... this Time for Real |
| 2014-03-15 |
| [An Nahar] A Mississippi farmer who made global headlines two weeks ago when he woke up in a body bag at a funeral home died on Thursday aged 78, local media said. Walter "Snowball" Williams passed away in the early hours, the Clarion-Ledger newspaper in the state capital Jackson reported. "Well, they came and got him again around 4:15 am," said Williams' nephew Eddie Hester, quoted by Jackson television station WAPT. "I think he's gone this time." Williams, who entered a hospice in February because of congestive heart failure, was first pronounced dead on February 27 after nurses and a coroner detected no pulse. He was transferred to a funeral home, only to start rustling inside a body bag -- prompting duly astonished staff to summon an ambulance to take him back to his hospice bed. Williams, a father of 11 with six great-grandchildren, said he had merely fallen into a deep sleep, but family members felt God had given him extra time for a reason. "You'd be surprised how many people this has touched in more ways than we can ever put our hands on," daughter Mary Williams told the Clarion-Ledger. "This is a testimony that will live longer than we will." |

| #4 "you poke him...no, you do it. He's startin' to get gamey...no, he always smelled like that..." Scenes played out at the local medical examiner's office. There was one local worthy in Cut-and-Shoot, TX, that had this story play out TWICE. He was so funky nobody wanted to examine too close. He was finally done in by a UPS truck. |

| #3 I've instructed my heirs to shoot my remains in the LaGrange 5 Garage. If they fail this minor damn request I swear to fuck to haunt their Porches wiring until the end of time. |

| #2 Makes me wonder, I've heard reports that many people exhumed bear signs of premature burial, In other words, scratching at the casket lid, I plan to be cremated, I DON'T plan to suffocate In my coffin. Now to plan NOT to be burned alive? I've instructed my daughter to BE SURE. (In other words, cut off a finger or two, any blood, wait.) |
