The Man Who Walked Into His Own Funeral

He was declared dead but returned to his own funeral. Eighteenth century Europe,

when medical knowledge was limited. Doctors had no modern tests. Fainting,

illness, or coma could look like death. A man fell ill and was

declared dead after examination. But during the funeral, he regained consciousness

and walked out. People fainted. Shock turned to disbelief. These rare cases

led to modern procedures for confirming death. Imagine being buried alive by mistake.

How sure are we that someone is really dead today?
