Mourners at the funeral of a 'dead' Egyptian waiter were stunned when he woke up just before the burial.
Hamdi Hafez al-Nubi, 28, from Naga al-Simmanm, near Luxor was declared dead after suffering a heart attack at work.
As per Islamic tradition, his body had been washed and prepared for burial by relatives convinced he was deceased.
But a doctor found Mr al-Nubdi was still warm and when he checked his vital signs, found he was still breathing.
She revived him - and then his mother who had fainted at the news.
Relatives at the funeral turned the funeral into a party of celebration at Mr al-Nubdi's 'resurrection'.
Last month 95-year-old Chinese woman Li Xiufeng terrified neighbours by climbing out of her coffin six days after she 'died'.
