But when the staff member of the freezer business showed up the next day to get the glass casket, he saw that the male was moving.

In video footage taken of Mr Kumar, the male holding the video camera asks: ‘His hands are trembling, how?’

‘Oh, it’s fits (seizures),’ the male’s sibling, called in your area as Saravanan responds.

When asked how this might be possible if he was dead, Saravanan responds: ‘His soul has not left him yet.’ 

The story was initially reported on a Tamil news channel however rapidly made nationwide headings.
