Teenager Wakes Up On The Way To His Own Funeral!
I would assume you would be positive someone is dead before you leave to bury them.
A family in India thought that was the case before their 17 year old woke up while they were taking him to his own funeral. Kumar Marewad was believed to be dead after battling with a serious infection after being bitten by a stray dog. The doctors and his family believed there was nothing left for them to do before the miracle happened.
Doctors told Marewad’s family he would not survive if life support was removed because the infection had spread throughout his body. His family chose to take him instead of continuing treatment.
When Marewad showed no body movement at the home, his relatives thought he had died. They asked fellow villagers to prepare Marewad for his last rites and funeral.As the family was close to the village where the funeral was located, Marewad opened his eyes, started breathing and moved his hands and legs. The 17-year-old was then rushed back to the hospital.Dr. Mahesh Neelakhantannavar told the Times of India that the boy is now back on a ventilator.“We suspect he suffers from meningoencephalitis, an infection caused due to dog bite,” Neelakhantannavar said. -(NY Daily News)
