An Indonesian family got the shock of
their life after their husband and father, 62-year-old Waluyo, showed up
at their doorstep one year after they thought they had buried him. He
was pronounced dead on May 15, 2015, after supposedly being involved in a
car accident.
Everything started last year when Waluyo
left his home to work as a street cleaner in the city of Semarang in
order to support his family. It wasn’t long after his departure that his
wife, Alim Eskatinah, got a call from the police who told her that he
had been the victim of a serious car accident and was in critical
condition at the emergency room. The whole family and even some of their
neighbours rushed to the hospital to be by his side but the injured man
died after a few days. “In the hospital he was in a coma. Relatives and
neighbours all visited him. He then died on May 7, 2015. Many came to
his funeral, all the neighbours came,” Waluyo’s daughter, Anti Ristanti
told Indonesian newspaper, Detik.
Then, a few weeks ago, the man returned
home. He was greeted with a unique mix of happiness and horror by his
distraught family.
“Is this real or not? I have to step back [to see him], how can a dead
person come back to life? I’m shocked,” his wife, Alim Eskatinah, told
local reporters
She was so shocked to see the man they
had buried standing in front of her that she didn’t even believe it was
him until she checked some distinctive physical traits.
“He had a scar on his back because of a
skin condition,” Alim said. “He also had a missing tooth.” They all
checked out, but just to be sure, the family asked him to name a few of
relatives.
After passing these strange tests and hearing their story, the confused man told them that he had been in Semarang all this time, but since he didn’t have a
mobile phone he never got in touch with them. He had no idea his family
had buried him back home.
Shocked at the news, the police have
visited the man since his return to find some answers to this mystery.
Unfortunately, having been pronounced dead, Waluyo will now have to go
through several lengthy procedures to legally return among the living.
He will have to be re-introduced into the country’s population database
and apply for a new identity card and family card, among other things.
