(DC Pundit) – This will make you think twice about trusting those fancy medical degrees. In a jaw-dropping turn of events, a young man in India nearly became a human s’more after three doctors jumped the gun and declared him dead.
25-year-old Rohitash Kumar, was at a home for the mentally impaired when he started having epileptic seizures. Next thing you know, he’s rushed to the hospital faster than you can say “medical malpractice.”
Now, here’s where things go from bad to worse. Three doctors, who apparently skipped the “How to Check if Someone’s Actually Dead 101” class in medical school, decided Kumar had shuffled off this mortal coil. But hold your horses! They didn’t even bother with a proper post-mortem examination.
Jhunjhunu SP Sharad Chouodhary spilled the beans, saying, “There were no near relatives of his present. The doctors were supposed to do a postmortem of the youth, but they did not do anything. The doctors just fulfilled the paper formalities and sent the man for cremation. When the body was kept on the pyre, he woke up.”

Can you imagine the shock on everyone’s faces when Kumar decided to crash his own funeral? It’s like something out of a Hollywood movie, except this was all too real. Poor guy had spent three hours chilling (literally) in a freezing morgue before his near-barbecue experience.
Naturally, the higher-ups aren’t too thrilled about this fiasco. District Collector Ramavtar Meena laid down the law: “Doctors Yogesh Jhkhar, Navneet Meel and Sandeep Prachar are suspended for gross misconduct. They did not perform a postmortem and sent the man for cremation. We have asked for a report from the medical department soon.”
This isn’t just an Indian thing. In 2023, an Iowa woman pulled a similar Houdini act. She was found “gasping for air” in her body bag. Talk about dodging a bullet!
The moral of the story? Maybe we should all start carrying “I’m not dead yet!” cards in our wallets. You know, just in case.
