LAZARUS with a triple bypass?
A 95-year-old woman in the
Chinese province of Guangxi has
reportedly shocked her friends
and relatives by climbing out of
her coffin almost a week after her
purported ‘death’.
According to the Xinhua news
service, Li Xuifeng was found
motionless in bed by a neighbour
after she tripped, and when he
failed to wake her up assumed
she had passed away in her sleep.
According to tradition the body
was laid in her coffin so that
mourners could pay their
respects, but the day before the
funeral a shocked relative found
the casket empty.
A subsequent search found the
woman cooking in her kitchen.
“I slept for a long time,” she
apparently told villagers.
“After waking up I felt so hungry
and wanted to cook something to
eat. I pushed the lid for a long
time to climb out,” she added.
BRITISH authorities have warned
about a spate of chewing gum
theft, with criminal gangs
apparently smuggling it to
Romania where it has become a
form of currency.
According to a Crown
Prosecution Service spokesman,
the thefts are “big business,” with
two thieves last week imprisoned
for stealing over £1000 worth of
gum from a supermarket.
