A woman in Karachi on Monday suddenly sprang back to life while she was being given her final bath before burial, after being thought of as dead. The body was brought for the last rites of “ghuslâ€, the final bath given to the dead body of the deceased in a local charity organization “Edhi Foundation†where during the bath, the woman came back to her senses and sat up.
A woman is about 55 years of age and reasons as to why she was declared dead at the first place when she actually was not has yet not been determined.
I think it is interesting to see this happen and goes to show that the body should be fully checked before cremation, as there have been cases like this where a person rose from their burial. It is interesting to see what happens when something like this happens, which can cause problems in the family who can get stressed and depressed in the process. I reckon that more tests need to be done so that people don't get shocked or stressed, when they the body of a relative or friend and then the person wake up in the end.

gusul is an everyday shower :-[
Muslims bury the dead immediately : even before rigor mortis step in.
stuff like this should happen more often and they may delay the burial !
Methink the dead body longs for its resting place ...
