KOT AHMED KHAN(Gurdaspur): Call it a miracle or diagnostic error on the part of the attending doctor, a 70-year-old man, who on Sunday was declared dead, came alive on Monday while his body was being taken home for cremation.
Parminder Singh, vice-president of Gurdaspur SAD unit, said his cousin Kashmir Singh (70), who was suffering from some kidney ailment and was admitted in a private hospital at Amritsar, was declared dead by doctors around 11.30 pm on Sunday.
Kashmir Singh's son Gurdeep Singh rang up relatives to inform them about the death so that arrangements could be made for his cremation the next day.
But the wailing family members were nearly stupefied when the deceased's son rang up at about 11.30 am on Monday morning saying that when the ambulance carrying his father's body reached Jaintipur on the way back home, he started showing movement.
Happy to find him breathing again, they rushed him back to Amritsar where he was kept under private medicare at his daughter's house.
Gurdeep said his father even drank a glass of water in the evening as he gained consciousness, but was not able to speak yet.
