In shocking turn of events, a 65-year-old Thai woman was found alive inside her coffin at a temple in Bangkok after being brought there for cremation. The stunning discovery was made when temple staff heard a faint knock coming from the coffin and subsequently opened it to find the woman struggling to breathe.
According to the temple's general manager, Pairat Soodthoop, the brother of the deceased woman had driven her 500 kilometers from Phitsanulok province to have her cremated after she expressed a desire to donate her organs. However, the hospital refused to accept the body due to a lack of an official death certificate.
Undeterred, the brother approached Wat Rat Prakhong Tham temple in Bangkok for a free cremation service, only to be turned away once again. It was at this point that staff heard the woman knock on the side of her coffin, prompting them to assess her condition and send her to a nearby hospital for further treatment.
The abbot of the temple has announced that they will cover the woman's medical expenses, providing a glimmer of hope in what appears to be a tragic and devastating turn of events. The incident raises questions about the handling of deceased individuals by funeral homes and hospitals, as well as the importance of having official documentation to facilitate proper care and processing.
As news of the discovery spreads, authorities are left grappling with the implications of this extraordinary case, while the woman's brother and family members struggle to come to terms with what happened. The fate of the 65-year-old woman remains uncertain at this time, but one thing is clear: her remarkable story will be remembered for a long time to come.
