Russian woman dies at her own funeral

A woman has reportedly died from the shock of coming to life at her own funeral.

Fagilyu Mukhametzyanov, 49, was wrongly declared dead by doctors, but she actually died after hearing people pray for her soul in Kazan, Russia, according to the Daily Mail.

She was taken back to a hospital where she was declared dead, this time for good.

“Her eyes fluttered and we immediately rushed her back to the hospital but she only lived for another 12 minutes,” her husband, Fagili Mukhametzyanov, said, according to the Daily News.

Mukhametzyanov said he plans to sue the hospital, which says it is conducting an investigation of the incident.

Her final cause of death was heart failure, according to reports. Her “first death” was also heart-related, a suspected heart attack.

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 after in Paraguay.

    This is strange. I suppose that she was obviously not embalmed.
    Only last night I had a conversation with a friend who brought up the topic of people being buried alive. I was informed that she believes that her mother did not die then but must have been in a coma and when she was brought to the funeral parlor she was given a needle which caused her death. This story is circulating. This occurred in a West Indian island; not Dominica. She also told me that the picture which was primarily taken of her mother at her home when she was presumed dead did not look like the same picture of her when her body was viewed in the funeral parlor and another picture was taken.
    I recall hearing in the past that while the mourners were praying and singing in the cemetery they heard knocks on the coffin. The person was alive.
    I heard of a case in Canada that a woman was pronounced dead and when she was brought to the morgue the nurse observed that her eyes were flickering. She was still alive. This may have happened numerous times all over the world. People may be in a coma and they are presumed dead. You will be surprised to know about various negligence and malpractice which occur in those countries pertaining to the health and welfare of patients. The lady’s husband has a good reason to sue the doctor and hospital. It is a shock to open one’s eyes and notice that they are in a coffin in the cemetery and ready for burial. For a while she must have been confused and when she realized the situation she got a major heart attack which really killed her. What a thing to happen to anyone.

      Before you respond to any post you must read the heading first. If I was not from Vieille Case, I would probably be thinking that everyone from Vieille Case are as idiot as you are. Where does Pastor who you are dating, labour or Vieille Case people fit into this issue? Did you just come out of that coffin and don’t know what is going on?

    Just goes to show the inperfection of man. Can’t even trust them in death. So sorry for the unfortunate souls who were declared dead when they were indeed alive.
