    'Dead' man wakes up at own funeral

    http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/846...at-own-funeral

    A waiter's funeral was turned into a surprise celebration when he woke up after doctors declared he had died from a heart attack in southern Egypt.

    Hospital officials pronounced Hamdi Hafexz al-Nubi, 28, dead after he collapsed at work in his hometown of Naga al-Simman in the southern province of Luxor last week, AP reports.

    Doctors said he had likely suffered a heart attack, and grieving relatives took his body home, washed it according to Islamic tradition, and prepared him for burial on Friday evening.

    The family only realised Mr al-Nubi was still alive after a doctor was sent to their house to sign a death certificate.

    The female doctor inspected Mr al-Nubi's body and discovered he was still warm, which prompted her to check his vital signs and declare that he was not actually dead.

    Mr al-Nubi's mother was so shocked at hearing the news that she fainted.

    The doctor managed to awaken Mr al-Nubi and his mother, and his funeral was quickly transformed into an impromptu party celebrating his 'resurrection'.

    It is not known was caused Mr al-Nubi to collapse.

    So weird! I'm sure he's glad he didn't wake up to find his body on fire to cremate it!
