A two-year-old boy sat
up in his coffin and asked for water before laying back down again lifeless, according
to a Brazilian news website. In a case that seems almost too incredible to be
true, ORM claimed that Kelvin Santos stopped breathing during treatment for
pneumonia at a hospital in Belem, northern Brazil. He was declared dead at
7.40pm on Friday and his body was handed over to his family in a plastic bag.
The child's devastated family took him home where grieving
relatives held a wake throughout the night, with the boy's body laid in an open
coffin. But an hour before his funeral was due to take place on Saturday the
boy apparently sat up in his coffin and said: 'Daddy, can I have some water?'.
The boy's father, Antonio Santos, said: 'Everybody started to scream, we
couldn't believe our eyes. Then we thought a miracle had taken place and our
boy had come back to life. 'Then Kelvin just laid back down, the way he was. We
couldn't wake him. He was dead again.
Mr Santos rushed his son back to the Aberlardo Santos
hospital in Belem,where the doctors reexamined the boy and confirmed that he
had no signs of life. He said: 'They assured me that he really was dead and
gave me no explanation for what we had just seen and heard.' The boy's family
decided to delay the funeral for an hour in the hope that he would wake up
again, but ended up burying him at 5pm that day in a local cemetery.
