Garincha's bones were exhumed, and his family: gone

The Sun reported that the remains of Brazilian legend Garrincha were missing, and his family was furious.

Nicknamed "The Little Bird", Garrincha won the 1958 and 1962 World Cups with legends such as Pele and Zagaro. He died in 1983 and was buried in Mach, 40 miles from Rio de Janeiro.

But an official told Brazilian media that his remains had been exhumed, but the bones are now missing: "We're not sure if he's still buried underground." We got word that his bones had been exhumed and then placed in an alcove. ”

Galincha's daughter Santos said: <b>"We are not sure where he is buried. The mayor promised to build him a mausoleum, but they had to find him first. Not knowing where his bones were was very disturbing. ” </b>
