Funerals Can Be Deadly

In Kazan, Russia, a housewife named Fagilyu Mukhametzyanov, 49, collapsed at home after suffering from chest pains. Doctors at the hospital told her husband Fagili that she had died of a heart attack.

At her funeral, mourning relatives filed past her open coffin and said prayers for her soul to be taken up to heaven. This got a reaction out of the woman – her eyes fluttered and she woke up, then screamed when she realized what was happening to her.

They rushed her to the hospital, again, but she died for real after 12 minutes in intensive care. Her husband is suing the hospital, according to The Daily Mail .

This isn’t the first time a funeral has taken an unexpected twist. In recent years, a man showed up alive for his own funeral in Brazil and a premature baby declared dead woke up before his own funeral before dying shortly afterwards in Paraguay.
