Desperate family smash into tomb of pregnant teenager who woke up screaming and banging on her coffin after being buried ALIVE...only for her to die again in hospital.
A video footage has emerged online and has already gone viral. It shows members of a grieving family breaking through the concrete grave from where 16-year old teenager, Neysi Perez, had been heard 'banging and screaming'.
Reports stated that the dead girl woke up in her coffin and screamed for help one day after she was buried, but unfortunately died again before desperate relatives could save her.
The deceased relatives who removed the girl's corpse, found that the glass viewing window on her coffin had been smashed and the tips of her fingers were bruised. But despite efforts to revive her, medics found no signs of life and she was later returned to the cemetery and reburied in the same mausoleum.
Ms Perez, who was 3 months pregnant, reportedly fell unconscious after waking up in the night to use the outside toilet at her home in La Entrada, western Honduras. It was believed she may have collapsed in an apparent panic attack after hearing a burst of gunfire.
She later became lifeless and was rushed to hospital, where three hours later doctors declared her dead. She was buried in the wedding dress she had recently used to get married.
A day after her funeral, her husband, Rudy Gonzales was visiting her grave at the La Entrada General Cemetery when he heard banging and muffled screams from inside the concrete tomb and raised the alarm.
The desperate family members broke through the concrete block tomb with a sledgehammer, before bringing out and opening up Ms Perez's coffin to try to revive her.
Mr Gozales told local TV news Primer Impacto: 'I was heartbroken because my sweetheart had been taken so suddenly from me. I wanted to be near to her.
As I put my hand on her grave I could hear noises inside. I heard banging, then I heard her voice. She was screaming for help. It had already been a day since we buried her. I couldn't believe it. I was ecstatic, full of hope.'
Doctors believe Ms Perez may have suffered a severe panic attack which could have temporarily stopped her heart activity.
Another hypothesis is that the teenager had a cataplexy attack, an abrupt temporary loss of voluntary muscle function typically triggered by a strong emotional stimulus such as stress or fear, during which the victim maintains full conscious awareness.
She may then have died from lack of oxygen after waking up inside the closed coffin.
