Mother springs to life in coffin

A MOURNING family was shocked when their mother knocked from inside her coffin just as her funeral was about to start, 16 hours after everyone thought she had died.

Medical tests found the 60-ish woman in central China's Hubei Province to be healthy, reported China Radio International today.

The woman surnamed Hou collapsed on January 14 days after she left hospital, where she had been treated for a minor disease.

Emergency treatment failed and her body became cold and rigid. Her family placed her in a coffin and just before the funeral was to start, a knock from inside the coffin scared everyone inside the room.

Hou's daughter and son opened the coffin and found their mother staring at them, answering their calls.

Hou's "death" was a symptom of her disease, said doctor Lan Yamin, when patients could breathe very weakly with a faint heartbeat.
