A deceased man was eventually turned away from his own funeral after his body was brought to church in a chair instead of a coffin.
The mourners made an effort to recognize 29-year-old Che Lewis. Many mistook his body for part of the funeral procession, and some even berated him for not wearing a face mask.
Che, 29, died after he was shot dead on November 14 at his home in the city of Diego Martin, Trinidad and Tobago.
His father, Adlay Lewis, 54, was also killed in the attack.
