Family Incorrectly Assesses Death Fact

A woman in India, who was believed to have died, came back to life just before cremation.


The US media outlet 'New York Post' reported on this extraordinary incident that occurred in India. Ms. A (52) was a woman who suffered severe burns in a recent house fire and had difficulty receiving treatment due to her poor financial situation.

When Ms. A did not open her eyes or breathe, her family assumed she had passed away and moved her to the crematorium to hold the funeral. Preparations for Ms. A’s cremation were nearly complete, and the hearse to transport the body to the cremation site had arrived.


The moment the hearse carrying Ms. A’s body arrived at the crematorium, a scream was suddenly heard from inside the vehicle. A local citizen guarding the hearse witnessed Ms. A with her eyes wide open. He told local media, "The corpse opened its eyes and showed (living) reactions. I had heard stories about (dead people coming back to life), but it was the first time I encountered it, so I was scared," recounting the situation.


The crematorium stated, "Generally, when outsiders use the crematorium, a death certificate is requested, but for local residents, we do not require a certificate." In other words, this incident occurred because the family, not medical personnel, mistakenly judged the death.


Meanwhile, there have been absurd cases in the past where bodies came back to life at the threshold of funeral homes. In June last year, Ms. B, a woman in her 70s from Ecuador, was brought to the hospital after suffering a stroke and was declared dead three hours later.

After the medical staff declared her dead, Ms. B was placed in a coffin. However, the woman inside the coffin knocked on the lid herself to inform the mourners of her survival. Ms. B was then rescued from the coffin and transferred back to the hospital for treatment, but she passed away again about a week after coming back to life.
