The late, but irrepressible, Shay Bradley.
He got the last laugh.
Loved ones at an Irish funeral for Defense Forces veteran Shay Bradley were shocked — then delighted — when they heard the voice of their late friend calling out from his coffin.
“Hello, hello — let me out!,†they heard on Saturday at Bradley’s funeral in Kilmanagh, Leinster, as his casket was lowered into the ground.
The pre-recorded message continued, “Where the f - - k am I? Let me out, let me out. It’s f - - king dark in here. Is that the priest I can hear? This is Shay, I’m in the box. No, in f - - king front of you. I’m dead.â€
A video of the posthumous prank, posted to Twitter Sunday, shows mourners laughing and crying as Bradley’s voice began to sing, “Hello again, hello. Hello, I just called to say goodbye.â€
The footage has gone viral with more than 500,000 views and over 16,000 likes.
Friends and family said the good-humored officer and father made the recording because he knew he was dying of a “long illness bravely borne†— and wanted “to make his family laugh rather than cry at the funeral.â€
