A woman in Thailand shocked temple staff when she started moving in her coffin after being brought in for cremation.
Wat Rat Prakhong Tham, a Buddhist temple in the province of Nonthaburi on the outskirts of Bangkok, posted a video on its Facebook page, showing a woman lying in a white coffin in the back of a pick-up truck, slightly moving her arms and head, leaving temple staff bewildered.
Pairat Soodthoop, the temple’s general and financial affairs manager, told The Associated Press on Monday that the 65-year-old woman’s brother drove her from the province of Phitsanulok to be cremated.
He said they heard a faint knock coming from the coffin.
This wouldn’t have happened if the dumbasses at the hospital in Bangkok would have actually done their jobs, and had a doctor check for vital signs before merely taking the guy for his word and just going with the assumption that she was dead before rejecting her.
Secondly, nobody at the hospital found it even slightly suspicious that a dude just rolls in with a body and says, “she’s dead. Cremation, plz.”? Instead they respond with, “produce a death certificate or fuck off”. What the actual fuck. I would have been asking, “isn’t that your job, assholes?”.
Absolutely, even the most basic of BLS training starts with…check the pulse. Skipping that step was a pretty goddamn big oops on everyone involved.
