I'm not dead yet: Grandma returns to life at funeral
By Coconuts Bangkok

UDON THANI: -- A 95-year-old woman rose from the dead at her funeral in Udon Thani on Wednesday.

An elderly woman identified as Tieb Boongate reportedly died Tuesday of old age at a Bangkok hospital, but as her relatives clasped her hands to say goodbye at the funeral, they felt a pulse on her wrist.

Fortunately for Tieb, she’d instructed her family not to use embalming fluid to preserve her body after she died.

Her family told the press they were sure grandma was dead as her body was hard and cold, but at the funeral it started to feel warm as if she was sleeping.

Told you to hurry up with that cremation.

[casualbiker]

Wow..... just WOW!

[Cpkt8]

A fast trip to hell with a return ticket. Luckily it's not too late.

Wonder what the hospital in Bangkok was? I'd like to avoid it.

[Confuscious]

Expect half Thailand to visit the "Magical resurrection" this weekend and ask the grandmom for the lucky lottery numbers.

Business as always ....

When granny suddenly returned to life, I wonder if the family ran to her with hugs and kisses ........ or just ran like h-ll

[Songhua]

Now they'll have to give her property back.

[Jack Mountain]

Lottery number 95 no longer available ...

True story. Back in the early seventies a great uncle worked in a mortuary. He kept a shotgun in there too 'just in case any bugger gets up'. He was as mad as a hatter.

Maybe Police General Hospital. No just joking.

[isanbirder]

Not the first time this has happened (the last one I remember was an old man).

It was no hospital in Bangkok but "Bangkok Hospital" in Udon Thani.

Bye,

'She's nearly dead 'was written on the certificate???

Or was it 'she will be dead soon'?

fantastic!!

She would make a good team with the army Captain who faked his funeral recently just to hear the posthumous glorification speeches of his friends and family.

Btw can any of the TV posters provide the address of a qualified medical practitioner? I mean- just in case?

Reminds me of the Monty Python Movie " In search of the Holy grail"

Came back eh ? Shit happens

When they dig up old graves in the UK, many coffins have scratch marks inside from people waking up and trying to get out. 1000s of people got buried alive in Victorian times. Probably some still do. It's easy to make mistakes if someone is in a very deep coma.

If anyone's worried, then they could order one of THESE.

[JacChang]

Maybe she forgot to pay her taxes.

[Jonmarleesco]

'... she’d instructed her family not to use embalming fluid ...' If she ate from the right - or the wrong - markets, she probably would be immune to it.

The human body as Arthur C Clarke said in one of his books is the "Most complex intelligence as we know it". I would never have a cremation I am scared I would wake up or in this and countless other cases, the person is not dead yet!! The body can do some crazy things and we have only just scratched the surface of working out how it all functions and why.

Perhaps jumping into a Volcano is the sure fire way (No pun intended) to ensure its all done nice and neatly. It will be very quick and you are dead for sure.

Maybe it was the loving clasp of the goodbye grip of loved relatives that brought her back to life, as if love is a force of life proven.

Very very rare. In days gone by there was a special building in Bavaria ( Munich ?) where the dead were deposited with bells attached to their hands so that if they ''recovered'' and moved their hands the bell would ring and the caretaker could help them, in the 50 years i believe that this building existed nobody ''recovered'' when the body started to decompose they were buried.

Before a burial or cremation there is a waiting time of around 4 days, i have seen the state of a body in the coffin after only 4 days at the final goodbye's, its not a pretty sight, the face usually a grey green colour no life there.

Scary incompetant Thai doctors.

Old wives tale. Coffins will rot very quickly when buried.

A few years ago my father in law was brought back from hospital unconscious and expected to die that day so the doctors said. He was lying in the house, the women were outside preparing the vegetables and chopping the meat, the icebox had just arrived already for the funeral party to begin. Suddenly he wakes up and says what's the party for, died eventually two years later but the ice had melted by then so we had to start again.
