Fagilyu Mukhametzyanov was just 49 years old when she had a heart attack in 2011. She was declared dead from what was thought to be a fatal condition. Her husband decided to have an open-coffin funeral. Imagine his surprise when his wife popped out of her coffin when he went up to say his final farewells.
The woman started screaming and was rushed to the hospital where medical experts attempted to save her life, but she only survived 12 minutes. The shock was so great that it caused another heart attack, and she was once again declared deceased, this time permanently.
Her husband was very distressed by the situation. “I am very angry, and I want answers,” he said. “She wasn’t dead, and they said she was and they could have saved her.”
Hospital spokeswoman Minsalih Shahapov made a statement assuring that an investigation would be conducted to investigate the matter.
Fagilyu’s ‘fake death’ is far from the only one of its kind. Previously this year, Rosa Isabel Cespedes Callaca was pronounced dead from a car crash. She surprised her funeral guests by waking up and banging on her coffin during her service in Lambayque, Peru.
Rosa had been in a car accident that killed her brother-in-law and left her three nephews injured.
During the funeral, guests lifted her coffin onto their shoulders when they began hearing knocking noises coming from inside of it.
They immediately put the coffin down and opened it to find Rosa alive and peering up at them.
“(She) opened her eyes and was sweating. I immediately went to my office and called the police,” cemetery caretaker Juan Segundo Cajo recalls.
Her family picked up the coffin with Rosa inside of it and took it to a nearby hospital.
Like Fagilyu, Rosa’s revival was short-lived. Her signs of life were weak. She was put on life support but she ‘died for good’ a few hours later.

Her family is left asking for answers and wondering why she was “declared dead in the first place.”
