According to his family, after exhaustive efforts to save him, doctors reportedly informed them that he was in a “brain-dead” condition and had “almost no chance of survival”.

Heartbroken by the news, the family began preparing his funeral.

However, just as the ceremony was about to begin, Lachke’s body suddenly showed signs of life, first with slight movements, then with a few coughs.
