A man who in Monrovia, Liberia, who was thought to have died from Ebola, was caught on video suddenly moving his arm. ABC News caught the footage, while Dr Richard Besser was reporting for the show "Good Morning America."

A burial team wearing protective suits was attempting to remove the "dead" Ebola victim from the side of the road, while an angry crowd watched. According to ABC, an unidentified community leader said the people in the community have been trying to get help for the dead man for several days.

When the burial team arrived, they began spraying the man's body with bleach and started wrapping plastic around it in preparation for cremation. In the interview, the community leader told Besser they couldn't help the man when he was alive since help only comes when people die.

Suddenly, the man, who was thought to be dead moved his arm, indicating he was not yet dead. Someone from the crowd shouted, "He's alive!" The burial team removed the plastic wrap from the man's body and placed him back on the ground. The man may have signs of life, but onlookers believe he may have only hours to live. It took about 10 minutes for the ambulance to reach the man. A team of health workers then carried the man into the vehicle as the crowd erupted into cheers.

Meanwhile, a report of a third Ebola patient who allegedly "came back to life" continue to circulate in the Internet, but the Website Snopes.com called the story a hoax. The hoax report claimed that officials in Liberia have released the first photo of an Ebola victim who has reportedly risen from the dead. The name of the patient was not released by the World Health Organisation. According to Snopes, the Web site where the image was supposedly released was only "satirical in nature."

Previous reports of two dead Ebola patients rising from the dead were reported by a Liberian newspaper, The New Dawn. Locals in Nimba County were shocked when the two people they thought were already dead suddenly rose to life. They are believed to be walking among the living in the community which caused panic among the people. Some also thought the two Ebola patients were presumed dead when they were still alive all along.

More than 3,000 people have died from Ebola in West Africa with five people contracting the virus every hour in Sierra Leone, reports said. Dr David Nabaro of the United Nations tasked to lead the response team said Ebola is the worse threat to humanity than SARS and HIV.
