A 90-year-old dead woman in Zimbabwe resurrected during her funeral procession
Mourners in a Village of Chikamba in Jambezi, Zimbabwe Gogo Tshuma
were thrown into shock when a 90-year-old dead woman resurrected during
her funeral procession.
However, it was learnt that the resurrected woman later gave up the ghost again.
A source from the village said the incident has got people relating different versions of the strange occurrence.
The source is quoted to have said: “Gogo Tshuma was over 90. When she died, people gathered waiting for her children to come for the funeral.
“They arrived at home a day after her death and brought a
coffin. On the second day, which was supposed to be the burial day, Gogo
MaTshuma came back to life.”
“Unfortunately, all preparations had been made and two cows had been slaughtered therefore people started partying.”
This strange occurrence is not peculiar to Africa, a doctor in
Germany was charged by prosecutors with negligent bodily harm, after a
92-year-old woman he declared dead woke in a refrigerated room at a
funeral home.
The doctor aged 53-year, pronounced the seriously ill woman dead
in March, 2015 after a care worker found her without a pulse and not
breathing at a retirement home. Her body was reportedly taken to the
Munstermann funeral parlour in Berlin where it was placed in a
refrigerated room.
However, just hours later a worker at the funeral home heard shrieks coming from inside the room.
‘Lazarus Syndrome’ is the term used to classify cases of people
pronounced dead only to awake in the morgue or at funeral places.
