Thai Woman Found Alive in Coffin Before Cremation: Nightmare Scenario
A 65-year-old woman in Thailand caused a stir at a Buddhist temple when she was found alive in her coffin, ready for cremation. The woman’s brother drove her from Phitsanulok to Bangkok, believing she had died after a two-year illness. Initially, the hospital declined the brother’s offer to donate her organs due to a missing death certificate, leading him to the temple for a free cremation service. However, before the cremation could take place, the temple staff heard knocking, opened the coffin, and discovered the woman alive, prompting them to send her to a nearby hospital, with the temple covering her medical costs.
