Mourners left stunned when ‘dead’ waiter, 28, wakes up at his own FUNERAL

Mourners at a funeral in Egypt swapped tears for cheers when the ‘dead’ body they were burying woke up.

Hamdi Hafez al-Nubi, a 28-year-old waiter from Naga al-Simmanm, nearLuxor was declared dead after suffering a heart attack at work.

His body was being prepared for burial when a doctor, sent to sign his death certificate, discovered he was still warm.

Family members were so convinced Mr al-Nubdi was dead they had already washed his body, according to Islamic tradition, and were preparing to bury him on Friday evening.

After finding he was still warm, the doctor checked his vital signs and discovered he was still breathing.

She quickly revived Mr al-Nubdi – along with his mother, who had fainted when she heard her son wasn’t dead.

Rather than cancel the funeral, mourners turned the party into a celebration of Mr al-Nubdi’s ‘resurrection’.
It’s not the first time someone has come ‘back from the dead’ at their own funeral.

Just last month a 95-year-old Chinese woman climbed out of her own coffin six days after she was thought to have died following a fall.

    This wouldn’t happen if he was properly embalmed.

    Wonder how many women will be stoned for seeing him naked, washing and touching another man they aren’t married to?

    I remember awhile back on here an article some muzzie wrote about how muslims didn’t smell after they were dead…….maybe because they have shitty doctors over there and they aren’t dead until after they’ve been suffocated by dirt.

    This the kind of healthcare we can expect under Obamacare. People not quite dead – napping or in a coma, etc. can get a decent burial.

    After seeing this pic, I’m beginning to understand why Islam requires their women to wear face veils

    Unless I’m mistaken, isn’t mom also known as “Flat Fatima”- the woman who always shows up in tragedies involving the muzzies?

    Nutjob: the reason they don’t smell when they die is because they already smell like that when they are alive, so they don’t notice.

    Did they try and have sex with him when he was “dead”? After all Islam allows that… And everything would be nice and stiff due to rigor mortis. Oh! Hang on, THAT’S WHEN HE WOKE UP!
