After the death of the boy was recorded in the hospital, his body was given to relatives for burial. An hour before the ceremony, it was at the Santos' house in an open coffin. Suddenly the "dead" Kelvin sat up and asked for water.

This literally shocked the father of the child, Antonio Santos, and several other people who were in the room. They raised a cry. However, Kelvin again sank into the coffin and no longer showed signs of life. He was again taken to the hospital, where the doctor, as the first time, confirmed that he was dead. Between the moment when doctors first recorded death, and temporary "revival" 20 hours passed.

Just in case, the Santos decided to wait a few more hours with the burial. But the miracle didn't happen again. Now Antonio Santos intends to sue the hospital, as he believes that for the first time the doctors erroneously declared death and the boy could still be saved. By the way, doctors have not commented on this situation.

How can a living person be declared dead? Well, here, for example, the famous physiologist I.P. Pavlov observed a patient who slept in a lethargic sleep for 20 years - from 1898 to 1918.

The doctor called to the scene did not detect a pulse or breathing, and declared the young man dead. Three days later he was buried. However, shortly before this, Angelo's father insured his life for 200 thousand francs, and the insurance company decided to investigate this case. The inspector demanded that the body be exhumed to determine the exact cause of death. Therefore, just two days after the funeral, the grave was opened and the body was sent to the forensic office in Bordeaux. And there the pathologist discovered that the "corpse" was still warm! The "deceased" was sent to the hospital. The experts came to the conclusion that the traumatic brain injury, which led to a deep coma, drastically reduced the body's need for oxygen, otherwise the young man would have died in the grave from suffocation ... Angelo underwent several operations, and after many months of treatment, he finally recovered .

And then he saw that some type in white was approaching him. The guy decided that he was captured by a maniac who was going to kill him...

Suddenly, before the eyes of all the parishioners, a wheezing sounded from the chest of the deceased, and he sat down in the coffin.

Perhaps the Buddha performed a miracle...
