THESSALONIKI – A strange and macabre case from the Prosecutor's Office of Thessaloniki, which was called to order the exhumation of an elderly man, after testimony from relatives that the deceased, during his burial, was rolling his eyes, the Athens News Agency reported.

The testimony was reported by the daughter of the elderly man who appealed to the Prosecutor's Office requesting an investigation.
