RELATIVES of a dead man in Spain asked a doctor to confirm his death a second time because his body showed no signs of going pale hours after he passed away.

The 70-year-old died of a heart attack and his body was on display at a funeral home in Lorca, a city of some 90,000 people in southern Spain, when his family noticed that it still had a healthy pink glow, a spokesman for the funeral home said.

They then called in the doctor to confirm that their loved one was in fact dead.

The doctor concluded that the man still had a healthy glow, despite having passed away, because the pacemaker he was wearing was still running.
