COLOMBIA: 300 Friends Smuggle Football Fan's Corpse Into Match.

INDEPENDENT/

   Police in Cucuta's General Santander Stadium opened the stadium's gates 15 minutes before the end of a match between Cúcuta Deportivo and Envigado...to let fans out.
   But instead hundreds of fans rushed into the stadium...carrying the corpse of recently deceased  super fan Cristopher Alexander Jácome Sanguino, 17.
   "We think that the plan was concocted and carried out by the fans on both sides of the gate. As soon as we opened the doors between 200 and 300 fans rushed in with the coffin," said the police chief.  "They surprised us, we never imagined a thing like this could happen. These type of things are a learning process for police officers."
