Albuquerque holding fake funeral for 'Breaking Bad's' Walter White

ALBUQUERQUE, NM (CNN/KRQE) - A fake funeral is getting a lot of real publicity.

Fans of Breaking Bad are planning to put the show's main character, Walter White, to rest in an actual funeral procession Saturday in Albuquerque, NM.

Even local law enforcement is taking the sendoff for the fictional meth kingpin seriously.

Fans of AMC's smash hit series have been in mourning since the show ended last month, and its main character died with it. There was a Walter White obituary in the local paper and a roadside memorial where he was killed in the series finale.

Jackamoe Buzzell, an actor, decided that wasn't enough and organized a real-life funeral for the make-believe character and others who lost their lives in the violent TV drama.
