Woman wakes up at her own funeral, dies from shock

That is why I’m an organ donor. I’m wanna make sure I’m dead before going 6 feet under. :frowning:

Imagine waking up surrounded by family and friends — as they plan to bury you alive.

That’s what happened to Fagilyu Mukhametzyanov, a 49 year-old woman from Kazan, Russia. She had collapsed in her home after suffering from chest pains, and doctors told her husband, 51 year-old Fagili, that she was dead.

But she was very much alive. And she got the surprise of her life when she woke up.

Fagilyu woke up in a coffin, as mourning relatives paid their last respects. She started screaming when she realized that she was at her own funeral. And 12 minutes later, she was dead for real of a heart attack, presumably from the shock.

“Her eyes fluttered and we immediately rushed her back to the hospital but she only lived for another 12 minutes in intensive care before she died again, this time for good … I am very angry and want answers,” her husband told the Daily Mail.

“She wasn’t dead when they said she was and they could have saved her,” he continued. He plans to sue.

Meanwhile, the hospital that mistakenly pronounced Fagilyu dead the first time around would only say it was “carrying out an investigation.”

Apparently, this kind of thing isn’t so rare. The Huffington Post mentions two other instances. One where a man in Brazil came to his funeral alive, and another where a premature baby in Paraguay woke up before his funeral, only to die shortly after.

**Being buried alive must be the most terrifying of all fears !!! Imagine waking up in a coffin buried 6 feet under !!!

Here is an article I came across of the most horrifying premature burials …apparently it is more common than we may like to believe.

Crikey. Sheyn, the Madam Bobin story from your link is terrifying!

[QUOTE]
In 1901 a pregnant Madame Bobin arrived on board a steamer from Western Africa and appeared to be suffering from yellow fever. She was then transferred to a hospital for those affected with contagious diseases. There she became worse and apparently died and was buried. A nurse later said she noticed that the body was not cold and that there was tremulousness of the muscles of the abdomen and expressed the opinion that she could have been prematurely buried. After this was reported to Madame Bobin’s father, he had the body exhumed.** They were horrified to find that a baby had been born and died with Madame Bobin in the coffin.** An autopsy showed that Madame Bobin had not contracted yellow fever and had died from asphyxiation in the coffin. A suit against the health officials resulted in £8,000 ($13,000) damages against them.

I thought it happened only in jokes posted in Jokes Forum.

Re: Woman wakes up at her own funeral, dies from shock

And these are just the cases we know about..

Perhaps we should start using panic buttons in coffins..

Re: Woman wakes up at her own funeral, dies from shock

*In fact in the 18th & 19th century a large number of "Safety coffins" were patented as premature burials were common at the time of Cholera ........It allowed the person to signal that he/she had been buried alive....... *

Re: Woman wakes up at her own funeral, dies from shock

^ Thats actually true, the word Graveyard shift actually comes from the time when folk were paid to keep watch over the graves and there was a saftey bell that the buried person could ring for assistance, what a spooky job.

I think next to public execution and being burned alive, buried alive is quite a terrible way to go... just hope it dont happen to you.
