Very old thread I know but did anyone ever get to the bottom of the original source (or first printed account) of McKenzie being entombed upright with a hand of cards? I always thought it was a Slemen-ism myself.



That said, it looks like similar rumors seem to accompany other pyramid shaped tombs elsewhere. I wonder why.

I was told on a walking tour of the area back in Autumn 2007 that the Uni are still supposed to be building on the site but leaving the tombs untouched and keeping some of the old frontage. Don't know how true it is though.
