Serbia: The family of Arso Banjeglav have been forced to dig him up to comply with his dying wish. On his death bed, the phone obsessed 67-year-old told his son Brano that he wanted to be buried with his phone.

The family dutifully placed the phone in his coffin with him but discovered after the interment that the SIM card was in the hands of a family child, not in the phone.

"We put the phone in the coffin as he wanted, but my 10-year-old son had been playing with it and had taken the card out without my knowledge. So now we have got to dig him up again to put it in the phone," said Brano.

Big LOL!

I can understand the family doing it though, they obviously didn't want to feel like they'd anger their recently deceased family member.

People do weird things in times of grief!

Maybe they should put it on charge while their at it.

i thought you could dial emergency numbers without a sim card?

How bizarre.

He's probably just afraid he may wake up one day...

Booner! · 27 Oct 2007 at 18:58

weird... maybe it was incase he was still alive, he could ring for help?

But since the sim card wasnt in there... he would have died trying... and nobody would be the wiser!

Surely a train would act like a giant Faraday cage though?

Do I look like a physicist?

Dunno tbh. Some networks seem OK on the trains, others don't.
