Man killed by his mothers falling coffin
MAKASSAR: An Indonesian was killed when his mothers coffin fell from a funeral tower and crushed him during a service on the island of Sulawesi, police said Sunday, reports AFP. Samen Kondorura, 40, died Friday when pallbearers lost their footing while carrying the coffin up a bamboo ladder in the Parinding valley in North Toraja district, local police said. The casket fell as the group hoisted it onto a lakkian, an ornately carved tower where the deceased is placed before elaborate traditional funeral rites. As the mothers coffin was being raised to the lakkian, suddenly the ladder shifted and collapsed, the coffin fell and hit the victim, Julianto Sirait, chief commissioner of the Tana Toraja resort police, told AFP. Video from the scene, which has gone viral online, shows the ladder slip just as the casket enters the tower, sending the men tumbling several metres to the ground where the victim is struck by the coffin. Horrified onlookers rush to the mens aid but Kondorura died later in hospital. Sirait said the accident happened because the ladder was not properly reinforced but the family has declined to press charges.
