A Moroccan cleric reportedly passed away of a heart attack after a man he was burying suddenly "woke up". According to Okaz newspaper, the incident took place in a village located in the country's Marrakech last Friday.
It all started when the man who was pronounced dead fell unconscious while performing Friday prayers at a local mosque. He was then transferred to a hospital where doctors pronounced him dead and even issued an official death certificate in his name.
After the man's family was informed of his supposed death, his body was sent to a morgue where the imam arrived to perform last rites and prepare the body for burial.
However, the man then shocked everyone when he woke up right in the middle of his burial preparations. The horrifying incident scared tens who were outside the mosque waiting to attend the funeral.
Unfortunately, it also led the imam to suffer a heart attack that eventually caused his death.

"May God have mercy on him."
