Grave surprise

A woman from Sierra Leone came back fom the dead as she was about to be lowered into her grave.

Baby Jane Saidu created panic when she opened her eyes and asked mourners why they were standing over her.

Many of the praying mourners fled the graveside screaming, but Jane's parents remained as their daughter came back to life.

The 24-year-old, from Shenge in Moyamba District , had fallen ill and was taken to a government hospital, but after returning to her home she fell ill again and was confirmed dead.

Her corpse was then taken for burial, reports the allafrica.com website.

An eyewitness said that before she was about to be buried, a sister of the dead woman decided to say special prayers for her and it was at that point that the woman is said to have woken up.
