BANGKOK (TNND) \u2014 A Buddhist temple in Thailand got quite the shock when they discovered a woman brought in for cremation was still alive after they heard knocking coming from her coffin. <\/p>\n

The Wat Rat Prakhong Tham temple shared a video on its Facebook page<\/a> of a woman lying in a white coffin in the back of a truck, moving her arms and legs.<\/p>\n

A translation of the caption read, “The cremation ceremony was to be held for Grandma, but when the coffin was opened, Grandma was still alive.”<\/p>\n

In a second post<\/a>, photos showed the grandmother being transported by an emergency rescue team to a local hospital to be assessed. <\/p>\n

Pairat Soodthoop, the temple\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

The brother added that his sister had been bedridden for about two years, and recently appeared to stop breathing and became unresponsive. <\/p>\n

Pairat explained that while he was explaining to the brother about how to get a death certificate, they heard the knocking. <\/p>\n
