Gonclaves had been identified by his family as the victim in a car accident the previous day in Brazil’s southern state of Parana. However, it was later revealed that Gonclaves had spent the previous night drinking ‘pinga’ with friends.

Police even reported that the family had trouble identifying the body due to its disfigurement.

Twitterers were amazed and confused with Gonclaves’ surprising appearance:
