It started in China...

A 95-year-old Chinese woman thought to have passed away stunned her neighbours - after waking up six days after she had been placed in a coffin.
Li Xiufeng was found motionless and not breathing in bed by a neighbour two weeks after tripping and suffering a head injury at her home in Beiliu, Guangxi Province. When the neighbour who found her could not wake the pensioner up, they feared the worst and thought the elderly woman had passed away.
She was placed in a coffin which was kept in her house unsealed under Chinese tradition for friends and relatives to pay respects.
But the day before the funeral, neighbours found an empty coffin, and later discovered the 95-year-old, who had since woken up, in her kitchen cooking.
Neighbour Chen Qingwang, 60, who originally found Mrs Xiufeng, said: 'She didn't get up, so I came up to wake her up.
'No matter how hard I pushed her and called her name, she had no reactions.
'I felt something was wrong, so I tried her breath, and she has gone, but her body is still not cold.'
As Mrs Xiufeng lived alone, Mr Qingwang and his son made preparations for her funeral, and the 'dead' woman was left in her coffin two days after she was discovered. The day before she was due to be permanently laid to rest, however, Mr Qingwang arrived at his neighbour's property and found her 'corpse' had disappeared.
Mr Qingwang added: 'We were so terrified, and immediately asked the neighbours to come for help.'
Neighbours searched her property before finding the pensioner in her kitchen cooking.
She reportedly told villagers: 'I slept for a long time. After waking up, I felt so hungry, and wanted to cook something to eat.

Medics said Mrs Xiufeng had suffered an 'artificial death', when a person has no breath, but their body remains warm.
Re-made in China??
When it’s your time, it’s your time.
And when it’s not, it’s not.
That’s one long nap.
“Artificial death”?????? Does that happen everywhere or only in China?
...And so beginneth the zombie apocalypse. Figures it would start in Asia like most epidemics.

RE: And so beginneth the zombie apocalypse
The only difference is this woman does not act like a Zombie.
It started in China...
How do you know? The article said she was hungry and got up to fix something to eat. Betcha anything it was brains.
VERY Cool!!
Confucius say Woman who wake up in coffin one lucky stiff.
She’s been raptured from the dead! Instead of tying a string to her toe with a bell on the other end somebody better tie the loose end to their finger so she won’t float away! LOL!
Everywhere else it’s a “coma”.
Yikes! Good thing they were in no hurry for a funeral.

According to my understanding, Zombies are bereft of consciousness and self-awareness, yet ambulant and are only able to respond to surrounding stimuli.

I didn’t know Zombies could reason and cook.
Try portraying a Zombie like that in the movies.
