Mourners nearly died of shock when a 101- year-old woman sat up and spoke – as she was being put in her coffin. Peng Xiuhua asked why so many people were in her house in Lianjiang, Guangdong province, China.
Peng, who lived alone, had taken a tumble and hurt herself so her two daughters, who are in their 70s, were looking after her. However, 10 days later her daughters could not detect a heartbeat and her body had gone stiff so she was declared dead.
The daughters gave her a bath, an undertaker dressed her and they were about to put her in her coffin when she came back to life. Peng said: “I am a lucky woman.
“Not only did I get to see how many people care for me, but I also woke up before they took me to the crematorium,” she said.
