VIVA World – A dramatic case of mistaken identity has left a family in China deeply shocked. Reports say an elderly man has emerged alive nine years after his family believed they had cremated him after a car accident.
In 2014, Zhuo Kangluo was confirmed dead after a car accident. He was found by the roadside after escaping from a nursing home in China. Both family and friends have identified the body by the roadside as his own.

After the accident, Zhuo’s nephew decided to cremate his body without an autopsy.
Nine years later the surprising appearance of an old man acting ‘strange’ shocked the family. His behavior caught the attention of Chongqing authorities in August, according to China News Network.
Reporting from the Daily Mail, Thursday, March 2, 2023, officers initially struggled to identify the man given his refusal to answer questions. But the DNA test results on Tuesday reportedly matched those of Zhuo Kangluo’s brother.
