I've heard of similar stories in the past. This man was confirmed dead by three doctors and already had marking on his body ready for the autopsy, when his snoring woke him up. I can't even imagine how it feels to wake up in a situation like that, I guess he's just glad things happened the way they did and he's still alive.

Also heard of people in the morgue already in body bags that were noticed alive and still wiggling. To me, that's what nightmares are made of. :holymoly:

Did you ever know anyone in a similar situation, I haven't?
 

Oh wow, that's so unbelievable, I've never heard of that happening. They check your heartbeat to verify you've passed on, so how can that happen?. Good news for the person who lives, but kind of creeps me out. Interesting story.
 
They say sometimes people with conditions like Epilepsy can be in a trance-like state, and mistaken for dead, more here.
 
So he just started snoring? or had he been snoring ? How could he be breathing that deeply, and be pronounced dead ?

He was pronounced dead when he was in the state of Catalepsy, he didn't start snoring until afterward when already on the table. Read more from last post by clicking "here".
 
This scares the daylights out of me! I remember in high school I had to read Edgar A. Poe's The premature Burial and that book made me nervous and still does.

Well, that does it. I'm going to tell my wife, if I go first, to get me a casket that has a receptacle so I can plug my cell phone in and recharge it in a hurry. (I'll remind her to place my phone beside me) and hopefully there'll be enough oxygen to last a few minutes.

I'll call 911 and say: "please come quickly - I need an ambulance, and I'm located at Highfill Cemetery........ and in a hole deep down and can't get out. But on second thought, bring a back hoe instead."

My clan on my dads side hails from way up in the hills of Kentucky.....when I was a pup I recall my grandmother telling me that they had just a small wooden one room church back up in a holler and folks got there either by walking, horseback or horse & buggy etc.

Up in the hills back then there was no such thing as embalming so when somebody died you put the word out as best you could about the death and the funeral time and then you got them underground quick.

Anyway, she told me that when she was a early teen they were at the funeral of some older lady and during the funeral service the lady sat straight up in her coffin and apparently went on to live several more years.

If I'd have been there they still would have had a funeral that day, MINE !......I'd have keeled over from a heart attack. :)
 
My hubby always says that’s why he’s got his name down to be a organ donor at least he’s knows he’ll be dead when they shove him in the furnace

LOL...so would I.;)..but I wonder, was that lady in an open casket?...how else could she have sat up...
 
I don't remember where I saw it... could have been a old patent from the 1800s when I was doing some research years ago. But they had some kind of hollow tube that connected a bell on a rope that extended down into the coffin so that if you weren't really dead and woke up buried you could ring that above-ground bell with the hope someone would hear it and dig you up.

Isn't that where the term 'Graveyard-shift' came from ? A person actually hired to walk the cemetery and listen for the [possible] bells.
 
With my luck, I'd wake up, turn my head and yell "ALEXA! CALL FOR HELP!" and she'd say "Dialing Hungry Howie's Pizza...."

"NO, ALEXA, DIAL THE POLICE!" "Dialing Polly's Pet Grooming...."

"DAMMIT, ALEXA, CALL THE PARAMEDICS!" "Dialing Pear Tree Orchards...."

"ALEXA, GO TO HELL!" "Your route is as follows: pass the Fiery Gates, take a left at Perdition Alley and then a sharp right onto Highway to Hades..."
