Related: About this forumSupposedly dead prostitute comes back to life while in coffin
There was drama at Manor Hotel in Bulawayo after a woman who had been presumed dead after collapsing while allegedly having sex suddenly woke up just after police officers had put her body into a coffin.
The incident occurred on Tuesday last week at about 12pm. Sources said the woman woke up saying: "You want to kill me, you want to kill me."
A number of people who had gathered to witness the woman's "dead" body being removed from a room at the hotel reportedly fled from the scene. Some are said to have fallen while others tripped over each other in fear of the 'resurrected' woman.
"It was like a movie. People were running away in different directions. It was a scary incident because we were all convinced that she had died because she was just cold. Miracles surely do happen," said a source.

(60,335 posts)1. Ever heard of the term dead ringer?
They used to put have a cord to a bell in the coffin just in case this happened. If the dead awakens in the coffin, they can pull the cord and a bell would ring alerting someone assigned to watch over the grave. That is where the term dead ringer comes from.

"Is this how the zombie apocalypse stars?"
can be applied.

I would have expected them to worship her.
I suppose they didn't try to hard to determine whether a coffin was needed.....that was a quickie.
