 Soon after baptism, Pindula notes that Paul became seriously ill with a highly contagious disease, influenza and he is believed to have subsequently died.This prompted his mother to rush him for baptism as well as for the last rites at the altar in the church before burial proceedings were conducted.Immediately after his baptism and to the amazement of everyone in the room, it is stated by the "Sunday-Mail" that Paul is believed to have sprung back to life immediately.
