In a shocking case of "I'm not dead yet," a woman was found alive in a coffin just moments before she was set to be cremated.

The incident took place in Thailand as Tham, a Buddhist temple in the Nonthaburi province on the outskirts of Bangkok, posted a video on its Facebook page, "revealing a woman lying in a white coffin in the back of a pickup truck, slightly moving her arms and head, leaving temple staff bewildered," according to the Associated Press.

The 65-year-old woman's brother drove her from the province of Phitsanulok to be cremated, the temple's general and financial affairs manager Pairat Soodthoop told AP.

And that's when they heard a faint knock coming from the burial box.

"I was a bit surprised, so I asked them to open the coffin, and everyone was startled," Pairat said.

"I saw her opening her eyes slightly and knocking on the side of the coffin. She must have been knocking for quite some time."

The brother indicated the woman had been bedridden for two years and became unresponsive. He believed she had stopped breathing and therefore presumed she died.

He then placed her in a coffin and made the 300-mile journey to a hospital to fulfill her wish of donating her bodily organs.

The hospital refused since there was no official death certificate.

The woman was sent to a nearby hospital, and Pairat said the temple would cover her medical expenses.

CBS News reports: "Similar instances of a person being found alive at funeral homes or morgues have been reported in the past."

In June 2024, a 74-year-old Nebraska woman declared dead at a nursing home was found breathing at a funeral home two hours later.

In January 2023, a 66-year-old woman was pronounced dead at an Iowa care facility after an employee said she "did not feel a pulse" and that the woman was not breathing. After she was taken to a funeral home, the woman woke up "gasping for air."

That same year, a New York funeral home found an 82-year-old woman alive and breathing shortly after she was declared dead at a nursing home.

In 2002, five officials in Shanghai, China, were punished, and a doctor had their license revoked after a video showed funeral parlor workers returning a body bag containing a live person to a retirement home.
