Family mourns man beheaded on bus

Family and friends have gathered for the funeral of a Canadian man who was beheaded and cannibalised by another passenger aboard a Greyhound bus over a week ago.

About 600 mourners packed a church Saturday to remember Tim McLean in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where the 22-year-old grew up.

Outside the church, neighbour John Jorgensen remembered the 22-year-old carnival worker as a positive guy who would immediately lift anyone's mood.

There has been an outpouring of public support for McLean's family since last week's random attack on the bus travelling from Alberta to Manitoba.

Chinese immigrant Vince Weiguang Li has been charged with second-degree murder in the slaying of McLean.
