Friday evening, security guards at the San Andres Mine in Copan, which happens to be near a cemetery, heard screams emanating from one of the tombs there.
The guards were alarmed and became frightened that it was something supernatural, and therefore ignored the cries that came from the coffin.
In the morning, however, the guards notified the family of the deceased of the unusual event. The deceased, it appears, was young Isaac Ramirez Perez, 27, who was entombed there Thursday afternoon. He had been pronounced dead at the Hospital de Occidente, after undergoing surgery.
The family arrived at the cemetery at nine o’clock Friday morning, and promptly broke into the mausoleum and took the coffin. They were stunned when they found sweat on the body. The authorities were immediately notified, and arrived to decipher if indeed the young man was dead, and/or what had happened.
According to the brother of the deceased, Francis Ramirez, Isaac had had a pain in his stomach, and they took him to the Hospital de Occidente. They thought that Isaac Ramirez had gallbladder problems, which required surgery. The boy was admitted to the male surgical ward, and the family was informed he died the next day.
Resigned to the inevitable, the family began collecting funds to buy a coffin. Meanwhile, Isaac’s body remained in the hospital morgue for approximately two hours.
The deceased had a wake in his village accompanied by family and friends, and on Thursday, after the funeral at two in the afternoon, his remains were moved to the Viejo Cemetery that is located in San Andres Mine.
The family returned home without imagining what would happen hours later.
“A guard at the mine heard when my brother screamed in his coffin, desperately calling out from the sealed tomb. They told us early in the morning to hurry and get him out.” The authorities reached the site to corroborate the facts. The boy was not rigid, but showed no vital signs.
At two o’clock, DNIC agents arrived with the body at the hospital, where the medical examiner ruled that the boy was in a state of “catalepsy”, which is when the person appeared dead with no vital signs.
When Ramirez was evaluated this second time, it was determined that he had died of suffocation.
