An 88-year-old woman was nearly buried alive after she woke up inside a coffin.<\/p>\n

The pensioner was found seemingly unresponsive by her husband, 87, on Friday morning at their home in Pilsen, Czech Republic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Assuming she was dead, he called for emergency services, who promptly dispatched a coroner to the scene.<\/p>\n

‘She wasn’t moving, she wasn’t breathing,’ he told Ned\u011bln\u00ed Blesk.<\/a><\/p>\n

The coroner pitched up and declared the elderly retiree dead, but the undertakers then arrived to find quite the opposite.<\/p>\n

After the ‘dead’ lady was placed in the coffin, she opened her eyes and started breathing.<\/p>\n

Reports in Czech media are conflicted as to whether the pensioner suddenly opened her eyes in the coffin or whether workers realised she was still breathing.<\/p>\n

Either way, she was alive and the pensioner was taken to the hospital, where she is still being treated.<\/p>\n

The woman’s husband added: ‘The [funeral services] workers put her in a coffin, and when they were right here, they found out that she was alive.<\/p>\n

‘It’s serious. I’m completely unhappy about it.’<\/p>\n

Police have said it is now investigating possible misconduct by the coroner. The coroner’s, 1 Koronersk\u00e1, apologised profusely for the mix-up and said three times in the past they had received calls to say a person was dead, but they turned out alive.<\/p>\n

This is also not the first time someone has ‘come back from the dead’.<\/p>\n

Morgue workers in a crematorium in Jhunjhunu City, India were shocked when a supposedly dead man began breathing in a crematorium<\/a> in Jhunjhunu City, India in November last year.<\/p>\n

Footage showed Rohitash wrapped in a blanket, opening his eyes and looking dazed.<\/p>\n

An ambulance was quickly called to take him to Rajkiya Bhagwan Das Khetan (BDK) Hospital, where he later died.<\/p>\n
