Additionally, Rohitash’s body was then prepared for cremation without further investigation.
Police confirmed that no relatives were present when he was admitted to the hospital.
The hospital and morgue staff failed to verify his condition properly, leading to the tragic error.
Jhunjhunu Police Superintendent Sharad Chouodhary said:
‘They just fulfilled the paper formalities and sent the man for cremation.
There, Rohitash was reportedly kept for several hours in a cold mortuary before the funeral rites.
‘When the body was placed on the pyre, he woke up,’ Chouodhary said.

Local authorities confirmed that the doctors and medical staff involved in the negligence were suspended pending investigation.
This is not the first time a miraculous survival has occurred after someone was reported dead. Previously, there was a similar case in the United States.
This incident in India is not the first of its kind.
Last year, in Iowa, a woman was found alive in a body bag after being declared dead.
The woman, who had early-onset dementia, was mistakenly pronounced dead after being unresponsive.
Funeral home staff discovered she was still alive when they unzipped the body bag, finding signs of life.
Rohitash’s case highlights the importance of proper procedures in death declarations.
While rare, similar incidents have occurred around the world, raising concerns about the accuracy of medical assessments. Proper checks are crucial to avoid such devastating mistakes.
