‘Dead’ Boy Sits-up, Ask For Water At Own Funeral, Dies Again
A two-year-old boy sat up
in his coffin and asked for water before laying back down again
lifeless, according to a Brazilian newswebsite.
In a case that seems
almost too incredible to be true, ORM claimed that Kelvin Santos stopped
breathing during treatment for pneumonia at a hospital in Belem, northern
Brazil.
He was declared dead at
7.40pm on Friday and his body was handed over to his family in a plastic
bag.
The child's devastated
family took himhome where grieving relatives held a wake throughout the
night, with the boy's body laid in an open coffin.
But an hour before his
funeral was due to take place on Saturday the boy apparently sat up in his coffin and
said: 'Daddy, can I have some water?'.
The boy's father, Antonio
Santos, said: 'Everybody started to scream, we couldn't believe our eyes. Then
we thought a miracle had taken place and our boy had come back to life.
'Then Kelvin just laid back
down, the way he was. We couldn't wake him. He was dead again.Mr Santos rushed his son back to the Aberlardo Santos hospital in Belem,where thedoctors reexamined the boy and confirmed that he had no signs of life.
He said: 'They assured me that he really was dead and gave me no explanation for what we had just seen and heard.'
The boy's family decided to delay the funeral for an hour in the hope that he would wake up again, but ended up burying him at 5pm that day in a local cemetery.
