Brazilian boy pronounced dead, briefly resurrected before laying lifeless again

A two year-old toddler who was pronounced dead, sat up on his coffin during his funeral and asked his father for a drink of water before laying lifeless in the coffin once again, according to Brazilian news sources. Kelvin Santos was declared dead after he stopped breathing due to complications with pneumonia at a local hospital in the northern Brazilian city of Belem. An hour before his funeral, the boy apparently sat back up and asked his father for a drink of water. The entire family thought they had witnessed a miracle and that Kelvin had in fact come back to life. But a few seconds later, the little boy’s body fell back in the casket and the family couldn’t wake him up again. The boy was rushed back to the hospital where he was pronounced dead a second time. “Dead people don’t just wake up and talk,” said Antonio Santos, the boy’s father. “I’m determined to find out the truth.”
