Thai woman wakes up in coffin shortly before cremation

They decided to cremate her anyway?!?!

If you’re wondering why all the places to legally dispose of a body need a death certificate, this article right here is why.

Also:

According to Pairat, the woman’s brother said that his sister had been bedridden for about two years. Two days ago, her condition worsened and she appeared to have stopped breathing. The brother then placed her in a coffin and drove about 500 kilometers with the supposedly dead woman to a hospital in Bangkok, where the sister wanted to donate her organs, according to the brother. However, the hospital refused to accept the offer because the brother could not produce a death certificate.

The brother then turned to the temple, which offers free cremations. Because of the missing document, he was also rejected there. The moment he explained to the brother how he could obtain a death certificate, they heard a knock, Pairat said. After making sure that the woman was alive, she was taken to a hospital. According to Pairat, the abbot of the temple assured them that the temple would cover the medical costs.

Story is bananas

I’m glad there’s a general agreement not to cremate without a death certificate.

So this guy just had a coffin lying around and decided on his own authority it was time to go donate his sister’s organs?

“So you’re probably wondering how it came to this. Let’s go back two years to a time when…”

I mean that’s the second best time to do it.

I guess no doctor actually verified her death…
