A woman in Thailand shocked staff at a temple when she started moving in her coffin after being brought in for cremation.

The temple’s manager said, “I saw her opening her eyes slightly and knocking on the side of the coffin. She must have been knocking for quite some time.”

The woman’s brother drove her to be cremated, but they heard a faint knock coming from the coffin.

The brother said his sister had been bedridden for about two years and appeared to stop breathing two days ago.

The hospital refused to accept the brother’s offer to donate her organs as he didn’t have an official death certificate, prompting him to seek a free cremation service at the temple.
