Man tries to sell coffin - including skeleton

A US man has attempted to sell a coffin with a skeleton inside.

Dave Burgstrum put the antique item on Craiglist for $12,000 in an attempt to raise some money, but the bizarre listing was seized by police after it was deemed illegal to sell a body.

However, Dave insists he doesn't know how the bones came to be inside the coffin, which dates back to the 1900s.

He said: "They were just there as long as anyone could remember."
