Irish funeral ends with voice in casket crying "Let me out!"

Those attending the recent Leinster funeral of Irish Defence Force veteran Shay Bradley were in for a surprise. As his coffin was being lowered to the ground, mourners could suddenly hear Bradley’s voice booming from the coffin. “Hello, hello, hello, let me out,” he cried against knocking sounds. “Where the fuck am I? Let me out, it’s fucking dark in here. Is that the priest I can hear? This is Shay, I’m in the box.” No, this wasn’t a case of premature burial, but rather a prank recording arranged by Bradley himself. The attendees can be seen giggling while wiping away their tears in the video, which was shared by the Irish Defense Force Veterans .

His daughter Andrea Bradley told The Huffington Post that he recorded this message a year ago while braving what he knew would be a fatal illness. He had only informed his son Jonathon and nephew Ben at the time, but two days before his funeral they shared their father’s final wish with the rest of the family.
