Nashik, September 6: What would you do if a loved one declared "brain dead" suddenly began moving during their funeral preparations? This shocking scenario unfolded in Nashik’s Trimbakeshwar taluka when a 19-year-old man, identified as Bhau Lachke, reportedly started moving and coughing just as his family was preparing his last rites. Relatives rushed him to the district hospital, where he remains in critical condition on ventilator support.

According to a report by news agency PTI, Lachke had sustained severe injuries in a road accident a few days earlier and was admitted to a private hospital in Adgaon. Family members claimed that doctors had declared him "brain dead," leading them to believe he had no chance of survival. Acting on this assumption, his relatives began preparing for his funeral before the startling incident occurred. Nashik Shocker: Income Tax Officer Dies by Suicide on Wedding Day After Fiancee Publicly Hugs Lover at Engagement Ceremony.
