He will be cremated. Chonthirot, a 65-year-old grandmother who everyone thought was dead, surprised her entire family by coming back to life, moments before her cremation, reported the Daily Mail on Monday, November 24.
Her younger brother explained that his sister had been bedridden for two years and she was found “dead” on Sunday, November 23 at 2 am, at her home in Phitsanulok (Thailand). Declared dead by emergency services, the grandmother finally woke up in her coffin, as the funeral vehicle arrived at the Wat Rat Prakhong Tham temple, on the outskirts of Bangkok.
Thammanoon, a 27-year-old temple worker, told the Daily Mail that he was preparing to move the coffin into the hall for pre-cremation ceremonies when he heard banging and cries for help coming from inside.
“I lifted the cloth covering his body and froze when I saw he was still moving. He was conscious, he was breathing weakly and nodding his head, but he couldn’t speak,” he said. “I was amazed, because I had never experienced anything like this before,” added Thammanoon.

“Surprised, surprised and happy”
Images shared on social networks showed the sixty-year-old woman lying in her coffin, trying to swat flies from her face, under the watchful eyes of her family.
“I was shocked, surprised and happy because my brother was still alive. I almost fainted from shock. It was a miracle that he was able to wake up,” said his older brother, Mongkol. An ambulance immediately came to take Chonthirot to Bang Yai Hospital.
Happy for the family, the temple’s abbot Phra Kitti Wachirathada said he had never witnessed such an event in all his years at the temple. The latter also stated that he would cover Chonthirot’s medical expenses.
This is not the first time a miracle has happened in Thailand. In February, an 85-year-old grandmother also showed signs of life after being declared dead for 40 minutes in the north-east of the country.
