Panic is spreading across an African community after reports that two Ebola victims have risen from the dead. No, this is not a movie script or a new book from Stephen King. The victims, both females in their 40s and 60s, died recently of the deadly virus in separate communities in Nimba County, Liberia.
According to reports in a local newspaper, the two women have reportedly been resurrected and have been seen walking among the living. Needless to say this has created a great deal of panic and fear among locals.
Dorris Quoi of Hope Village Community and a second victim identified as Ma Kebeh, both died about the same time. Ma Kebeh had been indoors for two nights without food or medication before her death. No additional information was available on Dorris Quoi.
While details are sketchy, The New Dawn Hospital in Nimba County said, both victims, were pronounced dead by medical personnel, and were about to be taken for burial when they rose from the dead. Since the Ebola outbreak in Nimba County, this is the first incident of dead victims resurrecting, the paper said.
Nimba County has recently reported news of other unusual Ebola cases. In what may be a related case a native doctor from the county, who claimed that he could cure infected victims, himself died from the virus last week. There is no information as to his resurrection or lack thereof.
The Ebola outbreak has already killed at least 3,800 people in five West African countries this year while an estimated 13,800 people have been infected with the virus, which has no known cure. America’s respected Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has predicted there could be up to 1.4 million cases of deadly Ebola by the end of January. This underscores the reason for all victims of the virus to be either cremated or buried in special escape proof coffins.
