Indian man who 'died' from snake bite wakes up seconds before cremation and dies again (Graphic photos)

A young man in India who 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.

The 23-year-old man, named as Sandeep, was attacked while collecting wood from the forest. 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.

But again his life could not be saved, and the tantric declared Sandeep dead for the second time. He was taken to the district hospital where a post-mortem examination took place.

A 23 year old Indian man simply identified as Sandeep, who was presumed dead after being bitten by a snake rose up from the dead at his own funeral, just as his body was about to be cremated.
Sandeep, was bitten by a snake while collecting wood from the forest far from his village. When he got back to his village in the Raisen district of the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, he told his family that he had been bitten by a snake.

 

Rather than take him to a hospital for treatment, his family took him to a traditional tantric practitioner in a nearby village, hoping that traditional medicine would cure him but the traditional cure didn't seem to have healed Sandeep, so they assumed he had died.

The family took his body to a local cemetery, where a funeral pyre was prepared. They placed his body and lit the fire, but by the time the fire almost reached his body, the young man started screaming, that was when people realised that he was still alive.

 

After he regained consciousness, his family took him to that same tantric practitioner who had previously declared him dead, instead of taking him to the hospital.

Again. the tantric couldn't save him and declared Sandeep dead for the second time.

He was then taken to the district hospital where he was confirmed dead and a post-mortem examination was done.
