‘She’s Alive!’ – Woman Declared Dead Shocks Family by Knocking from Inside Coffin!
Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa
A burial ceremony in Nigeria took a dramatic turn when a woman previously declared dead began knocking from inside her coffin, moments before final rites were to be performed. The incident, witnessed by stunned relatives and community members, has gone viral online and sparked debates about medical accuracy and spiritual beliefs.
“We were just about to lower the coffin when we heard banging. Everyone froze. Then we opened it — and she was alive!” a family member recounted.
Key Details:
- The woman had reportedly been pronounced dead by a local clinic after a brief illness.
- Her body had been washed, dressed, and placed in a coffin in preparation for burial.
- Just before final prayers, attendees heard faint knocking, followed by muffled cries for help.
- She was immediately removed from the coffin and rushed back to a hospital, where doctors confirmed she was still alive.
Why It Matters:
- The case has triggered concern about premature declarations of death, especially in rural areas with limited medical equipment.
- It also reignites cultural discussions on spiritual phenomena, with some suggesting the woman may have been in a coma or “trance.”
- Religious leaders are calling for better medical verification before burials to prevent such incidents.
What to Watch:
- Medical review of the case to determine if it was a misdiagnosis, coma, or cataleptic episode.
- Public health response and potential reforms in death certification procedures.
- Social and religious narratives that may follow the woman’s recovery.
