Irony: Woman Dies At Her Own Funeral

Jun. 24, 2011
I am Brandon Scott Gorrell and I am pumped!!!

Meanwhile, in Russia, after being wrongfully declared dead by doctors for a suspected heart attack, 49-year-old woman Fagilyu Mukhametzyanov woke up mid-funeral and then died, for good, from heart failure most likely the consequence of shock related to “hearing people pray for her soul.” More from The Daily Mail:

As mourning relatives filed past her open coffin the supposedly dead woman suddenly woke up and started screaming as she realised where she was.

Fagilyu Mukhametzyanov, 49, had been wrongly declared deceased by doctors but died for real after hearing mourners saying prayers for her soul to be taken up to heaven in Kazan, Russia…

Mr Mukhametzyanov said: ‘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.

Mukhametzyanov says he plans on suing the hospital that wrongfully declared her dead. A hospital spokesman stated they were conducting a full investigation into the matter. TC mark

    This looks like a trick to fool us Muggles to me.. Probably a witch or wizard was involved and they’re covering up.

    Don’t they embalm (or at least wash and dress)  their dead…?  I admit I’m still a little edgy after I fell for that “Zizek & GaGa  BFF” hoax…

      Her name and the city (Kazan) hint at Muslim heritage, so that could’ve been the reason for lack of embalming.
