An 81-year old man in the Chilean village of Angol woke up in his coffin at his own wake. His relatives were very surprised.
One day Feliberto Carrasco's family members discovered his body limp and cold. They were convinced he had died. They immediately called a funeral home, not a doctor.
Carrasco was dressed in his finest suit for the wake. His relatives gathered to say their final goodbye.

"I couldn't believe it. I thought I must be mistaken, and I shut my eyes," Carrasco's nephew Pedro said. "When I opened them again, my uncle was looking at me. I started to cry."
The man who "rose from the dead" said he was not in any pain. He only asked for a glass of water.
Local radio stations also surprised listeners by announcing a correction to Carrasco's death announcement. They said the announcement was made too early.(STAFF WRITER, WITH AFP)

Computex, Asia’s biggest electronics conference, kicked off Monday in Taipei, and as in years past drew industry chieftains from Nvidia Corp.’s Jensen Huang and Qualcomm Inc.’s Cristiano Amon to Young Liu of Foxconn, which makes the bulk of the world’s iPhones and Nvidia servers. But while last year’s event was a celebration of the post-ChatGPT AI boom, executives this time are likely grappling with the uncertainty of the Trump administration’s effort to reshape the global trade order — disrupting a decades-old model for tech manufacturing. This year’s exhibition will of course feature the hardware required to bring artificial intelligence to life.
