Death Made Illegal In Italian Town

ROME (AP) — Since the start of the month it has been illegal to die in Falciano del Massico, a village of 3,700 people some 50 kilometers (30 miles) from Naples in southern Italy.

Mayor Giulio Cesare Fava issued the tongue-in-cheek decree because the village has no cemetery and it is feuding with a nearby town that has one — creating a logistical problem about what to do with the deceased.

The mayor told newspapers that villagers are content.

"The ordinance has brought happiness," he was quoted Tuesday as saying. "Unfortunately, two elderly citizens disobeyed."

So what did they do to the two elderly citizens that broke the law I wonder?

Over here it is technically illegal to commit suicide. How do you punish those that were successful.

Resuscitate them and put them in jail? Or just fine their estates?
