A faith healer by the name of Robbie Dawkins claimed to have raised Matt 'Catlow' from the dead - only for his sister to point out he did nothing of the sort.

“I began to bind the spirit of death and say, ‘You can’t have him!’” Dawkins claimed according to Raw Story.

“I began to declare the resurrection life of Jesus Christ over him. People were beginning to get a bit restless but then I could hear his breathing start to recover and his colour started to return.”

'Catlow''s sister has refuted these claims on Facebook.

"It has since been MEDICALLY proven that Matthew had suffered an epileptic seizure which often can display similar signs of someone dying. TWO nurse family friends of ours both had their hands on Matthew throughout and not once lost his pulse. So no, Matthew did not die," she said.

According to Raw Story, Dawkins had previously complained when United Airlines had refused to let him raise a fellow passenger who had died on a flight.

Apparently the preacher with the church that had invited Dawkins, has apologised to his congregation.

"And do you know what the funniest bit is... my brother's surname isn't actually Catlow! That's how little Robby actually knows about him. Didn't even get his name right!" She said.
