Czech woman, 88, wakes up in coffin after declared dead
PETALING JAYA: An 88-year-old woman in the Czech Republic was mistakenly pronounced dead—only to shock everyone by waking up in her coffin. According to The Brussels Times, which cited Czech daily Pravo, the elderly woman from the city of Pilsen was found unresponsive by her husband one morning. Unable to wake her, he called emergency services. A forensic doctor who arrived at the scene declared her dead and issued a death certificate. But as funeral home staff began placing her body into a coffin, the woman suddenly opened her eyes—prompting immediate calls to emergency services. She was rushed to the hospital for observation and, remarkably, was found to be in good condition despite her age and previous illnesses. Police have since launched an investigation into the forensic doctor, who is suspected of failing to provide aid to a person in danger. The company that dispatched the doctor has expressed regret over the incident and said disciplinary action would follow.

Man detained in Czech Republic over 1984 escape from East Germany
A German holidaymaker visiting the Czech Republic with his family was arrested because his name remained on a police list, more than 40 years after he fled from the communist East Germany via Czechoslovakia. The man was arrested while eating breakfast at a hotel in the Giant Mountains range in the north of the country and took him away for questioning, according to a report by the Czech newspaper Pravo on Thursday. The man, who was originally from East Germany, fled to the West in 1984 while spending time at a socialist camp in what was then Czechoslovakia, another member of the Soviet-dominated Eastern Bloc. As it turned out, a court in the town of Ceske Budejovice had placed the man on a list of undesirable persons after his escape more than 40 years ago, and nothing had changed since. "We proceeded in accordance with the law," emphasized a police spokeswoman. She said that the police list did not specify why the man had been declared inadmissible to the Czech Republic and that it is up to a court to decide on whether to revoke the deportation order in individual cases. Lawyer Lubomir Müller explained that similar cases continue to occur from time to time. It is possible that foreigners have simply been overlooked when it comes to the legal rehabilitation of those persecuted by the communist justice system, Müller said.
