In November 2018 a man pronounced dead in Ethiopia shocked mourners when he turned out to be alive inside a coffin. Relations of the man Hirpha Negero from a village in the Sibu Sire district in the central Oromia region at the time celebrated his reported ‘resurrection’. He seemed to be dead.”ADVERTISEMENTMr Hirpha himself told the BBC that while in the coffin he “heard someone crying. I was so weak, unable to speak out.”But Kena this week confirmed that Negero has finally died. Kena told the BBC that this time he is certain of his nephew’s death since he suffered a long illness.
