Chilean Man Wakes Up From 'Death' At His Own Wake

An 81-year old man in the small Chilean village of Angol shocked his grieving relatives by waking up in his coffin at his own wake.

It all started when Feliberto Carrasco's family members discovered his body limp and cold. They were convinced that the Feliberto's hour, had come, being 81,so they immediately called a funeral home.

Carrasco was dressed in his finest suit for the wake, and his relatives had gathered to bid him a final farewell.

"I couldn't believe it. I thought I must be mistaken, and I shut my eyes," Carrasco's nephew Pedro told the 'Ultimas Noticias' paper.

"When I opened them again, my uncle was looking at me. I started to cry and ran to get something to open up the coffin to get him out."

The man who 'rose from the dead' said he was not in any pain, and only asked for a glass of water.
