Morgue staff panicked as the dead came back to life.

A rare "resurrection of the dead" incident just happened in Shiyan town, Hubei province, China, pageShiyan Evening Newsreport

The unfortunate man named Huang was sent home from the hospital after being treated for late-stage stomach cancer. It is known that Mr. Huang was diagnosed with cancer in November 2017, his family spent most of their savings on treatment but to no avail.

On Monday morning (February 26), Mr. Huang’s wife woke him up, but quickly realized that he was not breathing, lying motionless on the bed. Believing that her husband had died in his sleep, the wife called the funeral service to prepare for his burial.

However, a few hours later, when changing clothes and applying makeup to the body, funeral home staff discovered that Mr. Huang's mouth and fingers were slightly contracted.

After checking and confirming that Mr. Huang was still alive, the funeral home immediately called an ambulance. However, by the time the medical team arrived, Mr. Huang had already breathed his last.

The above rare incident is not unique, as there have been many similar incidents in the world before.

Accordingly, in March 2015, a German doctor concluded that a seriously ill elderly woman at a nursing home had died, after nurses checked and found that she had stopped breathing and had no pulse.

The old woman's body was moved to the funeral home's cold room. That night, a funeral home employee was shocked to discover the old woman alive in the cold room.

The employee said he heard a loud scream coming from the cold room. When he ran to check, he found the old lady had "come back to life".

It is known that 2 days later, the above mentioned old lady actually passed away due to heart disease, completely unrelated to the above incident.
