Dead Boy Sits Up In Coffin

Here's an odd story (not sure if it's true) out of Brazil.

The child's devastated family took him home where grieving relatives held a wake throughout the night, with the boy's body laid in an open coffin. 

But an hour before his funeral was due to take place on Saturday the boy apparently sat up in his coffin and said: 'Daddy, can I have some water?'.

The boy's father, Antonio Santos, said: 'Everybody started to scream, we couldn't believe our eyes. Then we thought a miracle had taken place and our boy had come back to life.

 The story then goes on to say they buried the child later that day after the doctors "verified" that the child had actually died the second time.

The boy's family decided to delay the funeral for an hour in the hope that he would wake up again, but ended up burying him at 5pm that day in a local cemetery

I don't think I'd be so quick to bury at that point. And I certainly hope the child didn't wake up again.
