'Dead' Man Woke Up During Own Funeral In Zimbabwe

Mourners at a recent funeral in Zimbabwe were caught by surprise when the guest of honor sat up in his coffin.

According to local reports, 34-year-old Brighton Dama Zanthe, the seemingly dead man, woke up last week while friends and family prepared to pay their respects at his home in Gweru.

"I was the first to notice Mr. Zanthe’s moving legs as I was in the queue to view his body. At first I could not believe my eyes but later realized that there was indeed some movements on the body as other mourners retreated in disbelief," Lot Gaka, one of the mourners and Zanthe's employer, told The Herald.

Fortunately, Zanthe woke up just in time; his body was set to be transported to a funeral parlor later that day. After Zanthe "resurrected" he was taken to a local hospital, where he remained on life support for two days before eventually being released.

Bodies springing back to life is, perhaps surprisingly, not an uncommon occurrence in Zimbabwe. Earlier this year, a woman, who was believed to have collapsed and died during sex, woke up screaming after she was placed into a coffin.

In another "resurrection" in 2012, a Zimbabwe woman, suspected of being possessed, was rushed to a hospital after she stabbed herself and was allegedly declared dead, the Chronicle reports. However, she did not stay "dead" for long, as she "rose" shortly after.

Oprah Interviews Whitneys Daughter Bobbi Kristina

Sunday evening, Oprah Winfrey's OWN aired her much-anticipated interview with Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina.

Oprah Winfrey sat down with Gary and Patricia Houston as well as 19-year-old Bobbi Kristina Brown, who is living in Atlanta, for a taped interview that aired on OWN Sunday evening.

During the emotional chat, Bobbi talked about her mom's passing saying,

"I'm doing as good as I possibly can at this point. I'm just trying to keep going. I can sing her music, but to hear it now, I can't. I can hear her voice telling me, 'Keep moving, baby. I got you.' She's always with me. I can always feel her with me. She used to always say, 'Do you need me?' And I said, 'I always need you.'"

She added,

"I feel her pass through me all the time. I wake up at night...She would say at 5 a.m. the saints start praying. I wake up now and look at the clock and it's 5 o'clock. I start praying."

WHITNEY HOUSTON LEAVES ENTIRE ESTATE TO BOBBI KRISTINA

The late legend’s estate is valued at around $20 million, according to TMZ. As Whitney’s only child, Bobbi will inherit her wealth as well as all furnishings, clothing, personal effects, jewelry, and cars.

Although she first drafted her will in 1993 and amended it in 2000, the late "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" singer left nothing to her then-husband Bobby Brown. Instead, she gave all of her money, furniture, clothing, personal effects, jewelry, and cars to Bobbi Kristina.

The 19-page document was read on Wednesday, March 7, in Atlanta, Georgia where it was filed, Inside Edition reported. It was detailed that 19-year-old Bobbi will receive the money, which is placed in a trust, in three stages. She will get a portion of it when she turns 21, a little more at 25 and the remainder on her 30th birthday.

Houston's will also named her mother, Cissy, as the executor, and her brother and sister-in-law as the trustees, who will be in charge of signing off on withdrawals for necessities such as school tuition, the purchase of a home and business expenses. It additionally mentions that if Bobbi died before Houston, her ex-husband, Bobby, her mother Cissy and other relatives would have to share her entire estate.

Bobbi Kristina herself will share "personal memories of her mom and how she would like the iconic superstar to be remembered" on Sunday, March 11. Sitting down with Oprah Winfrey for an "Oprah's Next Chapter" episode, it will be her first TV interview since her mother passed away on February 11.

However, words recently spread that members of Bobbi's family weren't keen on the timing of the interview. "There is still no resolution and there has been nothing concrete on the cause of [Whitney's] death, and they were hoping for that," a family friend explained to PEOPLE. "There are people who just want her to stay out of the limelight for a while. This is a little girl who just needs some time."

Man Found Dead Outside Of Rick Ross’ Miami Home

This morning, a man was found shot dead outside of a home owned by Rick Ross. Police say that the man, who has now been identified, was found inside of the gate of the Miami Gardens home, near its entrance.

Police were called to the scene after gun shots were heard in the area. They discovered the body of a 39-year-old man shot several times as well as his car on the property.

Though police don’t believe Ross is involved in the death, and he was not at the home when it occurred, they still want to question him about the incident.

Police are unsure why the man was there and what events led to his death.

Ross reportedly uses the home as a recording studio and often lets friends stay there.

Things Rich Pple do AFTA they Die

Park Avenue Millionaire Dies And Leaves $1.5 Million To His Door Man And Chauffeur

A millionaire Park Avenue music mogul, lonely after his wife dumped him, repaid two faithful workers who gave him a shoulder to cry on by making them rich after his death. See this is official and it caught them by surprise too. We all know “a boss is one who guarantees we gon’ eat” and now they are good. Click below to find out more.
@WiLMajor
“I don’t know what to do exactly with the money, but one thing I know for sure — every year, I’m going to bring the guy some flowers at his grave,’’ said suddenly rich chauffeur Jean Laborde, who received $1 million, or 10 percent, from boss Alan Meltzer’s $10 million estate.
“He was always joking. He never looked down on anybody,’’ said Laborde, a 54-year-old father of five from Irvington, NJ. “He was such a nice guy. He left me money, but it’s not a good deal for me because it means he’s no longer here.’’

Upper East Side doorman Chamil Demiraj said he would be eternally grateful to Meltzer, too. Demiraj, of Midwood, Brooklyn, received about $500,000 from Meltzer’s will.
“I appreciate it,” Demiraj said. “He was a generous guy. He was a really good friend of mine, and I was a good friend of his. It’s a surprise. Peace and rest to him. That’s all I can say.”
Meltzer, 67, the colorful former head of the New York-based Wind-Up Records and a celebrity high-stakes poker player, died on Halloween, about a year after he and his wife, Diana, divorced after at least 13 years together and no kids.
The split denied his ex at least a guaranteed 33 percent of his estate. Not that she was mourning the loss of the money — or the man.
“He can leave it to whoever he wants to,” Diana sniffed to The Post of her lost fortune. “I’m doing fine. I could care less.
“If he wants to give it to the bums, he can give it to the bums. He could f–k a nun. I couldn’t give a s–t. He can give his money to whoever he wants. We’re divorced. The man is dead.”

Dr Murray has Movie Coming Out

So Dr Murray Shot a Movie while he awaited trial for manslaughter called
“Michael Jackson and The Doctor: A Fatal Friendship”
and features a shockingly candid look at the preparation of the trial, which includes intense fighting between Murray’s lawyers.
The movie is being distributed by a company called Zodiac Rights … which says it’s already pre-sold the rights to air the documentary to “major broadcasters around the world.”
Sources tell TMZ … NBC is one of the broadcasters … and will air the doc in the United States.
As for Dr. Murray — he signed on to the project back in 2009, following MJ’s death. It’s unclear how much cash Murray is set to make from the movie.

Boxing legend Joe Frazier dies

He beat Muhammad Ali in the Fight of the Century, battled him nearly to the death in the Thrilla in Manila. Then Joe Frazier spent the rest of his life trying to fight his way out of Ali's shadow.

That was one fight Frazier never could win.

He was once a heavyweight champion, and a great one at that. Ali would say as much after Frazier knocked him down in the 15th round en route to becoming the first man to beat Ali at Madison Square Garden in March 1971.

But he bore the burden of being Ali's foil, and he paid the price. Bitter for years about the taunts his former nemesis once threw his way, Frazier only in recent times came to terms with what happened in the past and said he had forgiven Ali for everything he said.

Frazier, who died Monday night after a brief battle with liver cancer at the age of 67, will forever be linked to Ali. But no one in boxing would ever dream of anointing Ali as The Greatest unless he, too, was linked to Smokin' Joe.

''I will always remember Joe with respect and admiration,'' Ali said in a statement. ''My sympathy goes out to his family and loved ones.''

MJ's Doctor Guilty

Dr. Conrad Murray was placed on suicide watch at the L.A. County Jail on Monday, hours after he was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Michael Jackson's death and being taken into custody.

Immediately after the verdict, Murray was placed in handcuffs at the direction of the judge, to remain behind bars pending his Nov. 29 sentencing.

A law enforcement source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment, said Murray was placed on suicide watch once in custody.

With its verdict, the jury found that Murray acted with criminal negligence and that those actions were a substantial factor in Jackson's death in 2009. The panel rejected the defense assertion that Jackson gave himself a fatal overdose of propofol and therefore bore complete responsibility for his own death.

"This is a crime where the end result was the death of a human being. That factor demands rather dramatically that the public should be protected," L.A. County Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor said.

The cardiologist, who had once told patients that working for Jackson was "the opportunity of a lifetime," faces a maximum sentence of four years in prison.

Coroner Announces Amy Winehouse Drank Herself to Death

Results of a toxicology report released in August had shown that there was some alcohol in Winehouse's system at the time of her death, but it was revealed during the hearing that the 27-year-old had 416mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood.
80mg is the drink drive limit, while 350mg is the alcohol level associated with fatalities.
The hearing was told that Winehouse had stopped drinking for two weeks but restarted on the Wednesday before her death on July 23 – the day she joined goddaughter Dionne Bromfield on stage at the iTunes festival.
Three empty vodka bottles were found in the soul singer's room.

The night before her death Winehouse had been seen by her doctor, who described her as being a 'bit tipsy' but 'calm and coherent'.
The doctor described Amy as very determined but said she wanted to quit her own way and had objected to psychological therapy.
The inquest had also heard that Winehouse had quit drugs in 2008, confirming father Mitch's assertion at his daughter's funeral that Amy had been free of drugs for three years.
Mitch Winehouse, who was at the inquest today, had previously said he believed Amy had died as a result of an alcohol-related seizure.
As a verdict of misadventure was recorded, coroner Suzanne Greenway said: 'She had consumed sufficient alcohol at 416mg per decilitre (of blood) and the unintended consequence of such potentially fatal levels was her sudden and unexpected death.'

Coroner Suzanne Greenaway described the situation as, “Death by misadventure” … noting that Winehouse voluntarily pounded an extraordinary amount of liquor in the hours before she died on July 23.
Winehouse — who battled substance abuse issues for years — was 27-years-old at the time of her death.
Amy’s family released a statement … saying, “It is some relief to finally find out what happened to Amy. We understand there was alcohol in her system when she passed away, it is likely a build up of alcohol in her system over a number of days.”
The statement continues, “The court heard that Amy was battling hard to conquer her problems with alcohol and it is a source of great pain to us that she could not win in time. She had started drinking again that week after a period of abstinence.”
“It underlines how important our work with the Amy Winehouse Foundation is to us, to help as many young people and children as we can in her name.”
“It means a lot to us and from the overwhelming messages of support we have had since Amy died, we know she meant a great deal to people all over the world. We want to thank everyone for that and for their continuing enthusiasm for the Foundation.”

Man Dies Competing For Sauna Title

Really...............Really........Really
Ok lets be serious about this......Really

Ladyzhensky (Left) and Kaukonen sit during the men's final.


Over the weekend, 135 of the world’s top athletes gathered in Heinola, Finland to compete in the World Sauna Championships. Hold on, let’s start this over. On Saturday, 135 dudes showed up in Heinola to sit in a sauna until they couldn’t take it anymore, and when the schvitz settled, local Finnish hero and defending champion Timo Kaukonen was declared the winner. Because his opponent in the finals died.

After six minutes in a 110-degree Celsius (that’s 230 degrees Fahrenheit to us Yanks) sauna with Kaukonen, Russia’s Vladimir Ladyzhenskiy wasn’t looking so hot, for lack of a better term. Event officials opened the doors to the sauna and both competitors collapsed. Kaukonen had successfully defended his title thanks to his signature move – having a pulse. Ladyzhenskiy’s death put an immediate end to the final round, certainly disappointing fans of watching people die in a sweaty box.



The World Sauna Championships have taken place since 1999, and Ladyzhenskiy’s death is the first black eye in the event’s history. Ladyzhenskiy had been considered a favorite for sitting in the dangerous heat leading into the event, but his death puts an end to his hopes of winning the season MVP.
