An unexpected accident occurred during a funeral service in the United States. During the burial of Benjamin Aviles, who passed away on March 21 due to heart problems, the individuals carrying the coffin fell into the grave when the platform collapsed.

In the incident at Greenmount Cemetery, the bearers took the coffin from the hearse and brought it to the head of the grave. While the coffin was being placed on the straps to be lowered into the grave, the platform underneath suddenly collapsed. Family members and bearers attending the ceremony fell into the dug pit along with the coffin.

The person most affected by the accident was the deceased's son, Benjamin Jr. The young man, who was trapped under the fallen coffin, fainted with his face buried in the mud. Other bearers also suffered various injuries to their legs, hands, and backs. However, according to officials, none of the injuries are serious, and everyone is expected to fully recover.

The late Benjamin's stepdaughter, Maribelle Rodriguez, pointed to the cemetery management and the funeral home as responsible for the accident. Speaking to ABC6, Rodriguez said, "The platform was shaking, it was wobbly, and the boards were completely wet. They need to apologize and pay compensation because the ceremony was interrupted, and nothing was done properly."

Born in Lares, Puerto Rico, and later moving to North Philadelphia, Benjamin Aviles was a self-taught mechanic. Described in his obituary as "a devoted husband, a loving father, a caring grandfather, and a cherished friend," Aviles' family stated that "his kindness, generosity, and gentle spirit touched everyone who knew him."

A video showing the funeral accident was being recorded to capture Benjamin's last moments during the ceremony. However, the camera ended up documenting this unexpected tragic event.
