A dead Thai woman revived in her coffin before cremation shocks temple staff.

A 65-year-old Thai woman declared dead was found moving in her coffin at a temple in Nonthaburi province just before cremation, shocking staff who had prepared her for burial. Transported by her brother from Phitsanulok after being bedridden for two years and appearing unresponsive for two days, she had been denied organ donation at a Bangkok hospital due to lack of a death certificate. The temple also refused cremation without proper documentation. Staff heard faint knocking from the coffin, opened it, and discovered her moving. She was rushed to a hospital, where the temple pledged to cover her medical expenses. The incident has raised concerns about death certification procedures and end-of-life protocols in Thailand.
