Death returns, this time creep...ingly

10 June 2012

This is just creepy. It's a piece from Asian New International, based in Delhi, and it was published on Yahoo Singapore. Whether true or not, I thought the juxtaposition with my ramblings about death yesterday was curious.

Kelvin Santos, a two-year old in Belem, Brazil, passed away from pneumonia on Friday. The grieving family gathered round the casket at the family home, mourning the child's premature passing.

Then suddenly, an hour before he was to be interred, on Saturday morning, the child sat up and asked his father for water. The family -- those who didn't expire from cardiac arrest -- was more than shocked, relatives swooned and screamed, there was crying, yelling, panic.

Kelvin, having made his request, laid back down in the casket and died ...again. His father rushed him to the hospital but the doctors there pronounced him dead -- again! -- and returned the body to the Santos family.

Little Kelvin was buried at 5 PM on Saturday.
