Workers at a US funeral home say they
found a man alive and kicking when they
opened a body bag.
Coroner Dexter Howard calls it a miracle
that 78-year-old Walter Williams is alive.
The coroner was called to Williams’ home
in Mississippi, where family members
believed he had died. Howard said
Williams had no pulse and was pronounced
dead Wednesday.
Early Thursday, workers at Porter and
Sons Funeral Home were preparing to
embalm Williams when he started to kick
in the body bag.
Family members were called and Williams
was taken to a hospital. Howard says he
believes Williams’ pacemaker stopped
working, then started again.
Family members say Williams, a farmer,
told them he’s happy to be alive.

If he puts Duracell's in he might last 6 times longer

Can you imagine all the people this has happened to and they woke up in a coffin stuck in the ground. Cremation for me lads, thanks.

Don't worry, the embalming process would finish you off.

Apparently, the saying "dead ringer" stems from when people used to have bells fitted above the ground and a string fed to the coffin for this very reason.

He's surely doing his best to staying alive.

And this is exactly why I'll be getting cremated. I'll haunt the arses off my family if they have me buried.

It's a very common fear to be burried alive. I've had family members say ''just make sure i'm dead''. I always joke that I'll drag the body behind the car to be sure. Becuase it seems like such a strange fear to me. I mean, your probably nearly dead anyway if people think your dead by looking at you.

Cremation as well for me, I already have that specified in my will which includes an old Egyptian curse if not carried out as specified

The ultimate danger ****

In a first world country you would think they had the technology to know for sure if a person was dead, but these huge errors still happen. Crazy.

This scenario has happened a lot of times in other countries as well.

What if you wake up in the furnace?

Terrifying. Thankfully made the decision to get cremated when the time comes.

Yeah, that's another frightening problem for sure. Nothing at all could be done in that case. I'd hate to die in this country, with all the incompetence associated with health and cutbacks, I'd say if I was meditating they would just think I'm dead and bury me or cremate me.

Cyanide folks, just to make sure before dying a natural death, take no chances.

Now where was I.

Simple solution to this.
If a corpse starts moving, give it the belt of a shovel.

Everybody wins.

If it was my corpse moving, and someone hit me a belt of a shovel, I wouldn't be a winner now would I :mad:
