AIZAWL, Dec 22 – A 24-year-old man was buried here yesterday even as he was declared dead on the early morning of Thursday due to the fact that his body remained warm and the relatives were afraid that he might be buried alive.
Lalrinchhana was declared dead at 4.15 am on Thursday due to brain haemorrhage and was scheduled to be buried at 2 pm the same day. Relatives of the deceased person said that the body began to become warm again after the rigor mortis was over and was not buried that day.
The time of burial was again fixed at 12 noon yesterday, but the warmth in the body compelled the bereaved family to abandon the plan again even as doctors confirmed again that he was clinically dead. However, his body was finally buried at Zarkawt cemetery today attended by many people.
