Dead man wakes up moments before his burial

Mourners at the funeral of a 'dead' Egyptian waiter were stunned when he woke up moments before the burial.

Hamdi Hafez al-Nubi, 28, from Naga al-Simmanm, near Luxor was declared dead after suffering a heart attack at work.

As per Islamic tradition, his body had been washed and prepared for burial on Friday by relatives convinced he was deceased.

But a doctor found Mr al-Nubdi was still warm and when he checked his vital signs, found the 'dead body' was still breathing.

She revived him - and then his mother who fainted at the news.

Relatives at the funeral turned the funeral into a party of celebration at Mr al-Nubdi's 'resurrection'.
