A Russian woman died of a heart attack at her own funeral, after waking up to find praying mourners filing past her coffin.
Fagilyu Mukhametzyanov, 49, had been declared dead after suffering chest pains and collapsing at home in Kazan, capital of Tatarstan.
Doctors had failed to spot she was actually very much alive, and Mrs Mukhametzyanov unsuprisingly began screaming when she regained consciousness to find she was being prematurely dispatched to the hereafter.
Her husband, 51-year-old Fagili Mukhametzyanov, said: "Her eyes fluttered and we immediately rushed her back to the hospital but she only lived for another 12 minutes in intensive care before she died again, this time for good."
He added: "I am very angry and want answers. She wasn’t dead when they said she was and they could have saved her."
Hospital spokesman Minsalih Sahapov assured an investigation into the matter was under way.
“Reminds of that Monty Python bit in “Holy Grail”.”
Exactly. “Bring out your dead!”
“Get Low” was a great one,too.

Duvall was great.
Where do you think Øbama got the idea.
Should be on “ A Thousand Ways to Die” and “Urban Legends”.
No, I’m posting from here. You do have to bring your own computer, but the wi-fi is really good.
That's Tatarstan. (Only one 'r'.)
“Bring out your dead!”
is a term used to describe the phenomenon perceived at a site adjacent to or at a distance from the site of a voting booth in Chicago.
Not an ethnic expert here, but the names sound like they are in fact Tatars and not Russians (I was deployed to Uzbekistan, another land of Russified names).
If Tatar then probably Muslim, whose funerary customs mandate swift burial without embalming usually by sunset and definitely within 24 hours.
It’s a tragic story. Too bad it didn’t with the wife being reunited with her husband.
where tater tots are born!!
just kidding
“I feel better now”.
Sounds like it’s theoretically safer that way, although it didn’t work here after all...!
Hypersensitive lot, dem taters. I hope they aren't too offended that I never heard of their country.
All of those 'stans' that emerged during the Soviet collapse are going to be re-consumed by the Russians (as Putin reassembles the evil empire) or over run by some Islamic spring. Putin and mooslims have nothing to fear in the United States.
“Mukhamet” is a Muslim name...these people probably hail from one of the former Soviet republics to the south (Kazakh possibly).
Jeez, is this for real?
Belated thanks. I guess this is me now:
