Man bitten by snake wakes up before cremation and actually dies

According to a report on Daily Mail, a  23-year-old Indian man simply identified as Sandeep, who was pronounced dead after being bitten by a snake rose up from the dead at his own funeral, just as his body was about to be cremated.


Sandeep, was bitten by a snake while fetching wood from a forest. When he got back to his village which was far from the forest in the Raisen district of the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, he informed his family that he had been bitten by a snake.

 His family then took him to a traditional tantric practitioner in a nearby village, hoping that traditional medicine would cure him but the traditional cure didn't seem to have healed Sandeep, so they assumed he had died.

The family took his body to a local cemetery, where a funeral pyre was prepared. They placed his body and lit the fire, but by the time the fire almost reached his body, the young man started screaming, that was when people realised that he was still alive.

After he regained consciousness, his family took him to that same tantric practitioner who had previously declared him dead.

Again. the tantric couldn't save him and declared Sandeep dead for the second time.

If only they had taken him to a hospital, he may have survived.
