A Chinese family is in total shock after a shocking case of mistaken identity.
After an automobile accident in 2014, Zhuo Kangluo’s death was officially declared.
His body had been recognized by both family and friends as being the one on the side of the road.
After the mishap, Zhuo’s nephew made the decision to have the body cremated without performing an autopsy.
But the surprise appearance of a man acting ‘strangely’ in a village nine years later led to a mind-blowing revelation.
His behaviour had captured the attention of Chongqing authorities in August, according to the China News Network.
A DNA test proved he was Zhuo, despite it being years after his assumed ‘death’.
His grandson was also able to identify him when taken to the village.
The man reportedly burst into tears and wrote the names of those related to him when visited by his grandson.
Authorities in China are now working to identify the man who was mistakenly thought to be Zhuo in 2014.
