A Brazilian man has cheated death by being pulled alive from his grave after a mourner spotted earth moving in the Sao Paulo cemetery.
His rescue was captured on camera, where the footage shows stunned paramedics lifting the man's body out of the grave while he moves his hands and arms, the Mirror reported.
The unnamed man owes his life to a woman, who was visiting a family tomb, and heard noises coming from the ground, before noticing the earth of a grave moving nearby.
The "terrified" lady asserted that she then saw the man trying to get out of the grave.
The man, a former city hall worker, reportedly ended up in the grave after being badly beaten up in a fight.
