Boy declared brain dead comes alive during funeral

In a shocking incident, an 18-year-old boy who was declared brain dead after being in a coma for more than a week came alive during his own funeral. Gandham Kiran, a college student, had been taken to the hospital on 26th June due to high fever and vomiting. The teenager slipped into a coma and on July 3, where the doctors declared him brain-dead with least chances of his survival. Though doctors suggested removing the life support, his mother refused and brought him home along with the life-support system. Amidst the preparation of the boy's funeral, his mother noticed tears flowing from her son’s eyes. On consulting a local medical practitioner, they found his pulse was still beating and was immediately taken to the hospital. Within three days of treatment, Kiran came to senses and started talking, albeit in a low tone.
