BUDAPEST, Hungary:
HUNGARIAN BUILDERS who drank their way to the bottom
of a huge barrel of rum while renovating a house got a
nasty surprise when a pickled corpse tumbled out of the
empty barrel, a police magazine website reported.
According to online magazine www. zsaru.hu, workers
in Szeged in the south of Hungary tried to move the barrel
after they had drained it, only to find it was surprisingly
heavy and were shocked when the body of a naked man
fell out.
SHIPPED FROM JAMAICA
The website said that the body of the man had been
shipped back from Jamaica 20 years ago by his wife in
the barrel of rum in order to avoid the cost and
paperwork of an official return.
According to the web-site, workers said the rum in the
300-litre barrel had a 'special taste' so they even
decanted a few bottles of the liquor to take home.
The wife has since died and the man was buried in a
proper grave.
