Water began to pour out of the overweight girl’s coffin when the family opened it they were shocked- Touching Story

Water began to pour out of the overweight girl’s coffin when the family opened it. They were shocked. Mourners were stunned as the corpse and coffin came back to life moments before the funeral. An ambulance was then called, and it took the body to a medical center. At the hospital, doctors pronounced that the woman was still alive, but they did not explain how or why she was wrongly registered as deceased. This was both a terrible and glorious moment for everyone.

Miss Perez, who was three months pregnant, reportedly fell unconscious after waking up in the night to use the outside toilet at her home in La Entrada, Western Honduras. It was believed she may have collapsed in an apparent panic attack after hearing a burst of gunfire. However, when the teenager started foaming at the mouth, her religious parents called the local priest, believing she had become possessed by an evil spirit. Relatives recounted how the priest tried to exorcise her, but she later became lifeless and was rushed to the hospital, where three hours later, doctors declared her dead. Miss Perez was overweight and was buried in the wedding dress she had recently used to get married.

A day after her funeral, her husband, Rudy Gonzalez, was visiting her grave at the La Entrada General Cemetery when he heard banging and muffled screams from inside the concrete tomb and raised the alarm. Footage shows desperate family members breaking through the concrete-blocked tomb with a sledgehammer before bringing out and opening up Miss Perez’s coffin to try to revive her. Mr. Gonzalez told local TV news, Primer Impacto:

“I was heartbroken because my sweetheart had been taken so suddenly from me. I wanted to be near her. As I put my hand on her grave, I could hear noises inside. I heard banging, then I heard her voice. She was screaming for help. It had already been a day since we buried her. I couldn’t believe it. I was ecstatic, full of hope.”

Cemetery worker Jesus Villanueva said he had also heard noises coming from the grave. He said:

“I convinced myself that the screams were coming from somewhere else. I never imagined that there was someone alive in there. That afternoon, the girl’s husband came to me, begging me to get her out because she was alive. He was hysterical. The family soon arrived and started breaking through the tomb, shouting her name.”

Miss Perez was taken by truck to the nearest hospital in San Pedro Sula, still inside her coffin. Although medics tried to revive her, all the tests they carried out showed that she was clinically dead. Dr. Claudia Lopez recalled:

“The whole family rushed in, almost breaking down the door, carrying the girl in the casket. I told them to take her out and put her on the bed. Everybody was claiming she was alive, so I went through all the necessary procedures. We evaluated and tried everything, but the girl was dead.”

They put her back in the coffin and took her away again, back to the cemetery. Doctors believe Miss Perez may have suffered a severe panic attack, which could have temporarily stopped her heart activity. Another hypothesis is that the teenager had a cataplexy attack—an abrupt, temporary loss of voluntary muscle function, typically triggered by a strong emotional stimulus, such as stress or fear. She may have then died from lack of oxygen after waking up inside the closed coffin.

Her cousin, Carolina Perez, said:

“Once we had taken her out of the tomb, I put my hand on her body. She was still warm, and I felt a faint heartbeat. She had scratches on her forehead and bruises on her fingers. It looked like she had tried desperately to get out of the casket and hurt herself.”

Miss Perez’s mother, Maria Gutierrez, firmly believes her daughter was buried alive and blames the medics for being too quick to sign her death certificate. She said:

“The doctors declared her dead, but everybody else around me kept telling me she wasn’t. She didn’t look like she had died. Even after a day in the tomb, the color of her body was normal. Her corpse didn’t smell. She just looked like she was in a deep sleep. There was no rigor mortis; her body was still flexible. It was impossible that she had been dead for so many hours. We were all so happy. After being declared dead for such a long time, everybody was saying that she had come back to life. We were all so happy. I thought I was going to get my daughter back.”

There have been documented incidents in which people presumed dead have later been found to be alive, often in rural areas or Third World countries, where a conclusive medical determination of clinical death is impractical or simply not made. This wasn’t the first case of someone being buried alive.
