"¡Viva Cristo Rey!" - update
This is the incorrupt body of Blessed Jose Luis Sanchez del Rio, martyered during the Cristero War in Mexico in 1928 at the age 14. 84 years later his body is free from any sign of decomposition. He was among 90,000 Catholics that were killed for their faith during this war. His last words were "Que Viva Cristo Rey!"Source
Update: It's a "hoax".
The remains of Bl. José Luis are cremated and this is a mannequin of what he would have looked like. (I'm not sure how I feel about the mannequin, seems kind of tacky.... On the other hand, it does help pilgrims visualize the event, maybe a painting or an upright statue would help clear the confusion. ) Below are the real remains of Bl. José Luis being venerated. (thanks Carlos!)
