‘Stoneman Willie’ Will Finally be Buried After 128 Years - RT Documentary

The famous mummy, ‘Stoneman Willie’, will finally be buried after 128 years on display in a US funeral home. Willie was a thief, who died in jail in 1895. A mortician purchased the body to experiment with new embalming techniques, and created a mummy. Having given a fake name at the time of his arrest, the man’s identity remained unknown for decades and officials couldn’t contact any relatives. Historical documents helped to identify the man. His real name will finally be revealed to the public at his funeral this weekend. Are you glad he will finally be laid to rest? #HumanStories@rt__documentary
