No matter what you tell him, he's not going to do it.  Because, the wish of a man in Puerto Rico was to stand up at his wake.  And Angel Pantoja got his wish.   He was decked out in a Yankees baseball cap and sunglasses. His brother said that the victim had long wanted to be upright for his own wake: "He wanted to be happy, standing."  The funeral home used a special embalming treatment to keep the body standing upright for his three-day wake at his mother's home. The 24-year old Pantoja was found dead under a bridge in San Juan. Police are investigating.  This could turn out to be a new trend.  R.I.P. Angel.
