Man Assumed Dead Wakes Up At His Own Burial

The 23-year-old man from India, named as Sandeep, was
attacked while collecting wood from the forest. While the young man was presumed to have died
after being bitten by a snake rose up from the funeral
pyre at the moment it was set on fire.

When he arrived back in his village in the Raisen
district of the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, he told
his family about the snake bite.
Instead of taking Sandeep to a hospital, they brought
him to a traditional tantric practitioner in a nearby
village.
But the tantric’s treatment proved ineffective and it was
assumed the young man had passed away.
Villagers were left baffled at what to do because some
in India claim that those who die of snake bites should
be buried rather than burned.
In the end it was decided that his body was to be taken
to the local cemetery where a funeral pyre was
prepared.
But when the fire almost reached the body of Sandeep,
the young man started to shout and people realised he
was still alive.
Sandeep was taken to the same tantric practitioner
instead of a hospital after he regained consciousness.
