A family in Thailand experienced every relative's worst fear only to witness a miraculous reprieve when a 65-year-old woman, thought to be dead, was discovered moving inside her coffin at a Buddhist temple, just as staff were preparing for her cremation. The woman, bedridden for about two years, had been transported from her home province to the outskirts of Bangkok after her brother believed she had died. The discovery prevented a tragic mistake and led to questions about how deaths are verified and handled.
