Dead Toddler Wakes Up At Funeral, Asks For Water, Then Dies Again

June 11, 2012 by The Master Chief

Brazilian news websites are reporting on a bizarre story about a two-year-old boy who, originally presumed dead, woke up at his own funeral, and asked his father for a drink of water before lying back down again in his coffin, lifeless.

According to news sources from Brazil, Kelvin Santos was declared dead after he stopped breathing due to complications from pneumonia at a hospital in Belem, northern Brazil.

SBT — the Brazilian equivalent of CNN — reported that the boy was declared dead Friday night at 7:40 pm, and his body was released to his family in an airtight plastic bag, where he remained for up to three hours before his family gathered later that night for a wake.

The two-year-old’s father Antonio Santos said that the next day, while the family was grieving over little Kelvin Santos’ open coffin shortly before his funeral, the boy sat up, and asked, “Daddy, can I have some water?”

“Everybody started to scream, we couldn’t believe our eyes,” Santos told SBT. “Then we thought a miracle had taken place and our boy had come back to life … Then Kelvin just laid back down, the way he was. We couldn’t wake him. He was dead again.”

Mr. Santos rushed his son back to the hospital, where doctors re-examined the boy and pronounced him dead a second time. “They assured me that he really was dead and gave me no explanation for what we had just seen and heard,” he said.

Hoping that little Kelvin would wake up again, his family decided to delay his funeral for at least an hour … but he didn’t wake up, and he was buried later that day in a local cemetery.

Mr. Santos says that he believes his son was the victim of malpractice, and has filed a formal complaint with the police who have launched an investigation.

“Fifteen minutes after rushing him away for resuscitation, they came and told me he was dead and handed me his body,” Santos said. “Perhaps they didn’t examine him properly. Dead people don’t just wake up and talk. I’m determined to find out the truth.”

We can’t help but agree with Mr. Santos. Dead people DO NOT just wake up and talk.

Is it just us … or does something about all of this sound really fishy?

Do you believe this family’s story?

  • Rosala

    I dont believe it . when they prepare a body for an open casket they preserve your body with alot of chemicals..FALSE

      True, but probably not in Brazil

    • babe

      not in Brazil…there there is no process and people are buried same day or no longer than 48h after dead.

    • Miss Truth Hurts

      You f*cking idiot can you READ!? They didnt embalm a damn thing. The doctors handed the body over to the father 15mins after death. Not to mention Brazil is a poor country, most folks dont have all the money for all that bullsh*t (autopsy, funeral home arrangements, embalming/mortician services, $6000 casket, rental of the room for the funeral, priest/reverend,headstone, burial plot,etc) Therefore they take the body right on over to the FREE burial ground, have service then bury their loved-ones right away before any decomposition starts. Unless it’s a murder victim, that’s exactly how it goes. Unfortunately, if there’s a medical misdiagnoses sh**t like the above isn’t uncommon and determinately isn’t hard to believe.

    I have a two year old nephew and a 5 year old nephew. Two year olds don’t say ”
    Daddy, can I have some water?” They say, “Wa-Wa? Peez?” Thsi is bullshit

    • kimburrlee

      my nephew is 2yrs old and he can say whole sentences he speaks almost perfect for his age but do i believe it i don’t know i wasn’t there… with god anything is possibe

    • Johnson

      Your two year old isn’t every two year old. I know two years olds who can speak just about perfect. Speak for your own children.

    • BeBee

      My daughter is the same age and she does not talk baby talk at all.
      Children only talk baby talk when that is all they hear . And as far as if I believe I only know that God does lots of things that we don’t understand .

    • Miss Truth Hurts

      Because you have typical GLUE EATING kids. Most idiots like you speak “baby talk” to your children from BIRTH, and wonder why they cant speak well or enunciate their words even at age 7. Parents with good sense whom speak clear English to their children, from birth, are speaking VERY well and are very articulate by age 3. So please stop embarrassing yourself by telling everyone how dumb your children are and how everyone else’s should be just as dumb.

    • lightenup

      wow you are a very angry person LOL

  • VswayZ

    this is scary and sad at thesame time

  • mimi

    Sounds like his soul was still traveling and stopped by his body one more time. And he could have said Wa Wa, peez….it was just the way the boy’s father described what happened.

  • A J

    Gorgeous lil boy!
    The ‘airtight’ plastic bag is alarming. That means, had the child still been alive (& something is telling me he was) he would have suffocated.
    The whole story sounds dodgey

  • fuckyall

    BULLSHiT !!!

  • Alexpalex

    What’s alarming to me is that they proceeded to burry the child. If it was my child I would wait moe than an hr to continue his funeral. Thats the most unbelievable part of the story for me.

    • Chocolatesmusic

      Thank You! there could be NO WAY that I would bury my son an hour after he woke up and asked for water…NO WAY!! Hard hard hard to believe a parent would bury their child an hour later!!

  • uniBlanco

    Anything is possible. But I would have FAINTED!
