After receiving death threats, the funeral worker who posed for a selfie by the open coffin of Argentinian soccer legend Diego Maradona has begged for forgiveness, the BBC reported Saturday.
Claudio Fernández, who was fired over the incident, said the decision to take the photo was impulsive and he regrets it. Fernandez was snapped with his son, who made a thumbs-up signal, and another man.
Maradona died Wednesday at his home in Tigre, near Buenos Aires.
