A three-year-old girl woke up at her own funeral in Mexico

Camila Roxana Martinez Mendoza was declared dead 12 hours before the service last week but started to show signs of life while trapped inside the coffin.

In a tragic twist, the child did pass away after being rushed back to hospital by her stunned relatives.

Camila had 'died' after suffering from a severe stomach bug but her mother Mary noticed that her daughter was moving in her coffin.

Relatives rushed to check her pulse and found out she was alive just before she was going to be buried.

Mary is now determined to get "justice" for her daughter following her passing.

She said: "What I really want is for justice to be served. I have no grudge against the doctors who went to extreme (measures).

"I only ask that the doctors, nurses and directors be changed, so that it does not happen again."

The incident is now being investigated by the San Luis Potosi State Attorney General's office.
