'Dead' man wakes up moments before cremation
Doctors declared him dead, but just seconds before being created, he suddenly woke up.
An Indian man is lucky to be alive after a near-cremation. Rohitash Kumar was moments away from being cremated when he woke up.
He was admitted to a hospital in Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan, last week after falling ill with a fever. Rohitash, who is hearing impaired and mute, was living in a shelter at the time.
"The man did not have any relatives present when he initially arrived at the hospital. His condition worsened and there were no signs of life," Metro quoted local police officials.
Sadly, there wasn't much that could be done, and he was declared dead. According to several reports, a post-mortem examination was not carried out on the man.
Rohitash reportedly spent three hours in a mortuary freezer before being sent to a crematorium. His body was placed on a funeral pyre and was moments away from cremation when staff noticed that he was breathing heavily.
“He started moving his body. We were shocked and started running away,” an eyewitness told The Telegraph.
Three doctors have been suspended for "gross misconduct and dereliction of their duties".
Rohitash is reportedly in a stable condition following the shocking incident.
@dailymail A 45-year-old man came 'back from the dead' just moments before he was due to be cremated in India. Footage shows the live but seemingly catatonic man wrapped in a blanket and surrounded by stunned onlookers in Jhunjhunu City, Rajasthan as he appeared to resurrect himself last Thursday. Rohitash, who is both mute and deaf, had spent three hours in a freezing morgue before staff noticed that he was still breathing. He had reportedly fallen critically ill the day before while staying at a local shelter before doctors declared him dead. Officials explained the mistake to local media by claiming that medics had simply skipped the post-mortem examination to determine his death. #india #death #news #cremation ♬ Creepy, scary, horror, synth, tension - Sound Production Gin
