Rapper Goonew’s body was propped up ‘standing’ at nightclub funeral
rapper Goonew was literally the focus of his own funeral… with his body propped up and on display at a club.
The funeral of the 24-year-old, nicknamed The Final Show, was held at Bliss Nightclub in Washington DC on Sunday, and footage from inside the building appears to show the rapper’s embalmed corpse surveying the crowd, fully clothed and sporting a Crown.

The audience’s reaction is quite mixed…some dancing along to the music while others stare at the corpse in front of them, their faces frozen. Bliss Nightclub said they were not made aware of the honor in advance and have apologized to anyone offended, according to TooFab.
The club is still investigating whether the body was real or not, or whether legal ramifications are possible.
Goonew, real name Markelle Morrow, was found dead from gunshot wounds in a District Heights parking lot a few weeks ago – his family believes he was the victim of an armed robbery.
His mother says the artist gave up everything the suspect wanted, but he was still shot in the back. The Prince George’s County Police Department is offering a $25,000 reward for any information that would lead to a conviction or arrest.
