Woman Wakes up in Coffin in Morgue as Relatives Hear Banging and Moaning
Doctors said the case may have involved apparent death, a condition in which vital signs are difficult to detect.
- An elderly woman from Hebei province, declared dead on September 8, regained consciousness inside a refrigerated coffin after her daughter-in-law heard faint "humming" sounds the following evening.
- Following terminal cancer and cerebral thrombosis, the family brought her home for end-of-life care, placing her in a rented refrigerated coffin to await relatives before the funeral.

- After regaining consciousness on September 11, the woman remained in critical condition, unable to eat or drink, and died two days later; she was laid to rest on September 13.
- This unusual case sparked online debate regarding authenticity and mourning customs, with observers noting that while families traditionally kept the deceased at home for three to seven days, modern cremations occur soon.
