    Relatives received the death notice and staff at the residence put the woman in a body bag. The funeral home came to the scene and picked up the woman.

    But when the undertaker later opened the body bag, he discovered that the woman was alive, reports say CNN.

    The woman’s chest moved and she gasped for air. The undertaker raised the alarm and the woman was taken to hospital.
