The body of an alleged thief, known as "Stoneman Willie," who was accidentally mummified by an experimental undertaker 128 years ago, will finally be buried. The body has been kept in a funeral home in Reading, Pennsylvania since 1895. The funeral home owners have arranged for a proper burial, with the body dressed in a tuxedo. The mummification technique used by the undertaker was effective, preserving the body remarkably well. The true identity of Stoneman Willie has remained a mystery, as he refused to reveal his real name before his death. After 128 years, the body will finally be laid to rest.

Foley also mentioned that the cell structure was not as sturdy as expected, being held together with twist ties and zip ties, which he noticed breaking apart during the match.
