Woman Tries to Re-Animate Dead Sister, Sets Fire to House Instead

A night fire in an apartment block has been caused by a woman who tried to reanimate her long-dead elder sister with electricity. The horrific story happened in Ekaterinburg, the biggest city in the Urals.

The suspected arsonist, 69, apparently was not completely of sound mind, judging by her mental health record.

A year ago, her 73-year-old sister died from natural causes, prosecutors told Noviy Region news agency. However, instead of reporting the death, the woman preserved the body with gasoline and had been trying the reanimate it ever since.

I think you got that right. Imagine what the doctors will start asking now:
*Do you keep dead bodies in your house?
*Do you preserve them with gasoline?
*Do you use electricity to set everything on fire--I mean, do you try your best to bring them back to life?

ya know, i'm all for a good reanimating party, but sometimes ya just gotta say enough is enough. i mean, everyone knows a year is way too long to wait to reanimate a corpse, sheesh..

YES!!!
Ok, so I have had a big bummer of a day. But this just makes me smile.

Only thing missing is the famous last words of any redneck "Hey yall, watch this!"

Yeah....


Let's try reanimating a body that's been soaking in gasoline for a year with an electrical spark.


NICE!


POOF!, Where'd she go?

Someone send that woman a copy of Pet Sematary!
We ALL know THEY never come back, the same...

I am sorry but this headline made me laugh out loud! I hope I am not joing the ATS mean spirited bunch but this has to be the craziest thing I have heard all week. She is in the country for the men to come by night with the dogs and torches.

Wow. Just wow. That poor woman.

Folks, not to get all preachy, but this story should be good incentive. Dementia strikes many people in their later years; there's no "bottom age" for it, it can hit just about anyone... And a good many people either can't afford the care they need for the affliction, or just slip through the cracks. If there are elder people in your community, please, check in on them. Even if it's just saying hello, or bringing the newspaper to their front door or something. See what you can do to make their lives a little better, or even safer. if you know that someone is, well, "gone," there are numerous resources that you can turn to to help them out; contact some of the local hospitals, caregiver organizations, or even your local red cross.

She did this because there are people who don't like death, thus they will do anything to bring back there loved one.

She would have had a better chance if she didn't soak the body in gas first.

i think they didn't come by that old ladies house to check on her because it smelled like a corpse was soaking in gasoline for a year. Hey i get bitchy because my house smells closed up sometimes but hey i am sure stinky dead bodies and gasoline is a definate deterent for having friends come over.
