Dead Man Standing

He was a real stand-up guy, even in death.

A funeral home in Puerto Rico used a special embalming treatment to keep the body of 24-year-old Angel Pantoja Medina standing upright for a three-day wake in his mother's San Juan home.

Donning a New York Yankees cap and sunglasses, Pantoja was mourned by relatives while propped upright in the living room.

"[Angel] wanted to be happy, standing," his brother Carlos told the El Nuevo Dia newspaper

The owner of the Marin Funeral Home, Damaris Marin, told The Associated Press the mother asked him to fulfill her dead son's last wish.

Pantoja was found dead Friday underneath a bridge in San Juan and buried Monday. Police were investigating. (AP)

Balloon of Mass Destruction?

A teen prankster in Florida was charged with throwing a deadly missile after the missile -- a water balloon -- cracked a car windshield.

Gary Desrouilleres, 19, who admitted to police that he had thrown the balloon from another car, apologized for the incident, but was arrested and held on $10,250 bond.
