Video: Watch the moment 'dead' 3 year old girl wakes up at her own funeral

A cellphone video has captured the incredible moment a 3yr old girl woke up during preparations for her own funeral in a church in Aurora, Zamboanga del Sur, in the Philippines. The girl had been declared dead by doctors at a local hospital on Friday July 11th after being taken there the day before suffering from a fever for several days.

Her parents took her to the church the next day, with family and friends gathered for the burial when the unthinkable happened. It was only when one of her parents' neighbours removed the lid of the coffin to arrange the girl's remains that she saw the little girl's head move. She immediately alerted the girl's father who quickly removed her from the coffin and took her to hospital. It was later found that the girl was in a state of comatose, not dead.

Asamoah Gyan gives money to rescuers to help find Castro, Janet

Black Stars Captain Asamoah Gyan is said to have given money to some rescuers in Ada to help find hiplife artiste, Castro and his female companion Janet Bandu.

Rescue operations started Sunday for Castro, known in private life as Theophilus Tagoe, and Janet who went missing while jet skiing in Ada.

Castro and Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan were at the Peace Holiday Resort, a beach resort in Ada, together with some friends, for recreation.

The Marine division of the Ghana Police intensified search operations Monday but as at Tuesday hopes of finding Castro and Janet alive are dwindling.

An unidentified body that was discovered at a nearby village, Monday turned out to be that of an elderly man.

Robert Mensah, who said he was with Castro at the resort before he went missing, told Myjoyonline.com in an interview that a devastated Asamoah Gyan handed money out to rescuers to help find his friend.

Castro and Asamoah Gyan have over the years collaborated on some of Ghana's biggest hit songs notably 'African Girls', 'Do The Dance', and the 2014 Ghana Music Awards 'Highlife the Song of the Year' winner 'Odo Pa'.

Robert Mensah disclosed that Asamaoh Gyan, popularly known as Baby Jet, gave out the monies in the heat of 'people wanting to buy fuel, people needing to [move] their boats,' to search for Castro and Janet.

He said Asamoah Gyan doled out the monies without taking into cognizance how much he was giving out or how many people he gave the money to.

According to him, the Black Stars captain repeated the gesture on Monday as efforts to find Castro and Janet intensified.

The Marine police has begun day three of the search. They have called for support from the general public to help them find Castro and Janet, an upcoming actress who took part in Multi-TV's reality show 'I'm In Love with Bomaye' in 2012.

16yr old rape goes viral on social media: "No human being deserves this"

This is so wrong and heartbreaking to see. A 16 year old Texas girl named Jada (pictured left) has spoken out for the first time after photos of her unconscious naked body went viral online after she was drugged and raped at a party with her fellow high-schoolers.

Some sick people mimicked Jada's pose by taking photos copying the position of her limp body splayed out on the floor and posting them to Twitter and Vine using the hashtag '#jadapose'. (pictured right). How sick is this?

The victim decided to talk about the attack in an interview with KHOU on Tuesday night; "I’m just angry,” Jada said. According to Jada, she was invited to a party at a fellow high schooler’s house. The boy who was hosting the party gave her a drink that she believes was spiked with a drug that made her lose consciousness. She passed out and doesn’t remember what happened next. Continue...

 

But then she started seeing evidence of her sexual assault circulated online, and some of her peers started texting her to ask her if she was okay.

Then, #jadapose started turning her rape into a joke. When the Houston Press reached out to one of the individuals who shared a popular #jadapose photo, he said that he didn’t personally know Jada and was simply “bored at 1 a.m. and decided to wake up my (Twitter timeline).”

Jada decided to share her name and her story with the press because she has nothing to hide anymore

“Everybody has already seen my face and my body,” she said, “but that’s not what I am and who I am.” Nonetheless, the social media firestorm has taken a toll on her. She says she now wants to be homeschooled.

“No one’s daughter deserved this,” her mother, who asked not to be identified by name, told KHOU 11 News. “No human being deserved this.”

The Houston police is currently investigating Jada’s allegations, and no arrests have yet been made. The alleged perpetrator has denied that a sexual assault occurred, referring to Jada as a “hoe” who “snitched.”
