A mother has nearly collapsed to the floor in shock when her ‘dead’ son returned home and knocked on her door.
62-year-old Antonina Mikhailovna from Russia had reported that her son, 43-year-old Konstantin, had been missing for several days back in March.
After the police thought they found his body and asked the mother to identify him, she showed up at the morgue fearing the worst.
Breaking in tears, Antonina confirmed that the man lying dead on the table was her son, prompting the family to cremate and bury him.
The funeral was attended by the entire family, including the man’s estranged wife and daughter.
Only days later, Konstantin appeared at his mother’s doorstep, causing Antonina to “almost collapse” in shock.
As it was later concluded, Antonina most likely falsely identified the dead doppelganger as she was overcome with grief.
Now, the police are working on restoring Konstantin’s identity as well as finding out who the cremated and buried man actually is.
“In the morgue of the Frunze district of St Petersburg, the mother, Antonina Mikhailovna identified her son Konstantin as being a dead person who was kept there,” the police spokesperson said.
As for the 43-year-old man, he was just as puzzled by the incident as his family as he admitted he only left the town for a few days to figure out what steps to take next in his life.
“I was thinking about the meaning of life, and what I want to do with myself,” Konstantin said in an interview.
Ironically, however, thinking about life caused this man to lose his identity rather than “find himself.”
