US man 'sucked into grave'

A man is suing New York church officials claiming he was sucked into his brother-in-law’s grave while tending the plot in a scene reminiscent of a horror movie, it was reported today.

Gerard Glock (aged 39) of Flatbush, Brooklyn, said he was trimming weeds at St Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale, Long Island, when the earth collapsed under his feet and he found himself waist-deep in Charles Rizzo’s grave.
