Man wakes up at his own funeral!

Posted by Capri on June 21, 2007

A presumed-dead 87-year-old man in Taiwan gave his relatives a shock – when he woke up as they prepared for his funeral.

The man’s relatives were in a Buddhist mourning hall, reciting prayers over the dead body, when it gasped and woke up, the Shanghai Daily reports.

The family had been told by the hospital which had been treating the man – who was long-term bedridden – that the only thing keeping him alive were oxygen hoses, and that he would die quickly if they were removed. The family opted to take him out of the hospital so that he could die at home.

That plan was going swimmingly – as they removed the oxygen hoses, dressed him in funeral clothes, and placed him in the mourning hall – until he started breathing heavily.

The family sent him back to the hospital. Doctors are reportedly baffled as to his impressive recovery.
