[PW] ? Dictator Stuffed and seated in chair

[Kevin O'Kelly]

No mention of taxidermy, or whether he was married, but this from Garcia Marquez's Nobel lecture:

'General   Gabriel García Moreno ruled Ecuador for sixteen years as an   absolute monarch; at his wake, the corpse was seated on the   presidential chair, decked out in full-dress uniform and a   protective layer of medals.'

I've heard it said of Papa Doc Duvalier, but I'm not in a position to say whether it's true or not.
