Undertaker Passed Out In Shock After ‘Dead’ Woman Emerged From Coffin

It’s pretty tough being a funeral director and having to deal with the emotions of grieving families and dead bodies on a daily basis.

But it got even worse for an undertaker in Germany, who passed out with shock when a ‘dead’ woman opened the lid of her coffin and groaned ‘Where am I?’

When the funeral director eventually woke from his horrific ordeal, he saw the elderly woman lying in the coffin with both eyes open.

Although an ambulance rushed to the funeral home to take the woman to a local hospital, she fell ill and died on Monday afternoon.

Now, a police investigation is hoping to find out how the woman was pronounced dead in the first place.

It’s been reported that a carer found the woman in bed at the nursing home where she lived, and wasn’t breathing.

A doctor was called to the home, and the woman was pronounced dead before being taken to the funeral directors.

After she was discovered still to be alive, the unnamed funeral director called an ambulance, and paramedics noted that she still had a pulse.

Lother Burger, the head of the retirement home where the woman lived, said: ‘This is terrible and inexplicable. We are being devoured by the press, we are being pilloried.’

An investigation will determine if there had been a failure in recording the woman’s death.
