The latest spectacular grave-robbing comes from Italy, where a tv personality's corpse has been exfiltrated:
Mike Bongiorno, who was Italy's top quiz show host for more than 50 years and a close friend of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, was stolen from his grave, officials said on Tuesday.
Bongiorno, who died in Sept 2009 at the age of 85, was buried in Arona near Milan. A pensioner who regularly visits the cemetery alerted police that the grave had been violated and emptied. Italian media said no ransom had been demanded so far.
He died in 2009.
Nobody's speculating about the possibility that the body wasn't stolen, but escaped on its own power. Tv host to zombie is but a step.
