Li Xiufeng was found motionless and not breathing in bed by her neighbour more than a fortnight after tripping and suffering a head injury at her home in China’s Guangxi Province
When he failed to wake her up, Chen Qingwang assumed the frail grandmother had passed away in her sleep, at her home in the village of Liulou, in Beiliu..
Recounting his daily visit to bring the elderly lady breakfast, Mr Qingwang, 60, said: “She didn’t get up, so I came up to wake her up.
“No matter how hard I pushed her and called her name, she had no reactions.
“I felt something was wrong, so I tried her breath, and she has gone, but her body is still not cold.”
Because Mrs Xiufeng lived alone, Mr Qingwang and his son made preparations for her funeral, which included keeping the coffin in the house for several days for friends and relatives to pay their last respects.
The ‘dead’ woman was laid in her coffin on February 19, two days after she was discovered.
However, Mr Qingwang chose not to nail the coffin shut ahead of the planned burial on February 24.
