Woman dies of heart attack caused by shock of waking up at her OWN funeral

Alright alright, I would really like that question answered, wouldnt she have been embalmed already? I dont know the customs in Russia but im pretty sure this lady would have been cut open and embalmed by the time there was any time for this to happen. I just dont get it.

Plus, funerals usually take a few days, if this woman wasnt breathing then, in a few days she would have been brain dead anyways and would not have come back alive.

I'm shocked she hadn't already been embalmed. Besides, every funeral I've ever been to the person has been dead for several days before the funeral, wonder how that worked.

They thought she was dead and an hour later they threw her in a coffin?

She is probably Jewish(Jewish or Muslim[and some Christian sect's] believe in burying the body within 3 day's or so). On a side note I wonder how many people a year die because of accidental embalming?

This type of thing was common enough before they began embalming the bodies that bell's were rigged down into the coffin in-case a person woke up buried alive.
