Alan Billis (left) seen with his wife Janet, has become the first person in 3,000 years to be mummified in the same way as ancient Egyptian pharaohs, a new UK TV documentary claims, after he donated his body to a science experiment.
Mr Billis, a 61-year-old taxi driver from Torquay in southwest England, died in January from lung cancer. Before he died, he volunteered to take part in a mummification experiment for television.
