#6  Isn't it the purpose of a wake to watch over the deceased to see if there will be an awakening?
And there was.

#5  It is a village in a remote part of Chile.

No autopsy, probably not even a medical certificate from the local doctor...

#4  Wow - did he survive any formal autopsy, or did they just forego/decline an autopsy???

#3  The bottom half of the lid may have been closed.. or it may have an inner glass window.

#2  "When I opened them again, my uncle was looking at me. I started to cry and ran to get something to open up the coffin to get him out."
His uncle was looking at him through a closed coffin?
