The man, identified as Velluvakkandi Pavithran from Pachapoika, Kannur, had been undergoing treatment for severe heart and lung ailments at a private hospital in Mangaluru. His condition had been deteriorating, and he was kept on ventilator support. Due to mounting medical expenses, the family decided to bring him back to their hometown on Monday, January 12.
According to reports, doctors in Mangaluru had warned the family that Pavithran’s survival without ventilator support was unlikely and estimated that he would succumb within ten minutes of its removal. After shifting him, Pavithran showed no signs of life, including extremely low blood pressure, leading his family to believe he had passed away.
Upon reaching their village, the family decided to place the body in the AKG Hospital mortuary and prepare for the last rites scheduled for Tuesday, January 13. However, when the ambulance arrived at the mortuary, a startling event occurred. Jayan, a mortuary attendant, noticed Pavithran’s hand moving.
