Miami man declares he is alive after funeral mix up
In Miami, 62 year old Alex Monroe visits his daughter Mamie Higgs and tells police he is alive after being mistakenly identified as a man buried in North Carolina. The dead man had been shot last April during a neighborhood dispute, and relatives outside Nassau believed him dead. Mrs. Higgs, who paid 500 for the funeral, is seeking repayment as the undertaker defends the service.
