Johannesburg - The funeral of a 28-year-old waiter in southern Egypt turned into a celebration when the “dead†body they were burying woke up.
Hospital officials had pronounced dead Hamdi Hafez al-Nubi, who came from the village of Naga al-Simman in the southern province of Luxor, after he suffered a heart attack while working, News24.com reported.
His family said that grieving relatives took him home and, according to Islamic tradition, washed his body and prepared him for burial on Friday evening.
A doctor sent to sign the death certificate found it strange that his body was warm. At closer observation she discovered he was still alive.
His mother fainted upon hearing the good news.
With the doctor’s assistance, both al-Nubi and his mother were awakened and soon were celebrating with guests.
