A woman in Thailand shocked temple staff when she started moving in her coffin after being brought in for cremation.
Wat Rat Prakhong Tham, a Buddhist temple in the province of Nonthaburi on the outskirts of Bangkok, posted a video on its Facebook page, showing a woman lying in a white coffin in the back of a pick-up truck, slightly moving her arms and head, leaving temple staff bewildered.
Pairat Soodthoop, the temple’s general and financial affairs manager, told The Associated Press on Monday that the 65-year-old woman’s brother drove her from the province of Phitsanulok to be cremated.
He said they heard a faint knock coming from the coffin.
I would hope that whoever would be in charge of organ retrieval would check for those things regardless of death certificate, but at least it didn’t get that far.
Actually, it probably would have been better for it to get that far, for a medical professional to actually assess her earlier…
The organ harvesting makes no sense in any case. You can’t run a corpse 300 miles down the highway and expect anything salvageable.
True, but I think that the dude was just trying his best to fulfill their wishes. Grief leads people to do odd things sometimes.
