The civil affair bureau of Yichuan county, Henan province, sent a notice to the family of a 72-year-old man, who is still alive, ordering them to cremate him

Jin Tianxiang's family received the notice just a day after he was discharged from the hospital.

The bureau said it had got a report that Jin had died and his family had buried his body, instead of cremating it.
