Meet Ismail Azizi: The Tanzanian Man Who Refuses to Stay Dead—Despite Dying Six Times


The Enigma of Ismail Azizi.  In the remote contours of Ukerewe, Tanzania, there lives a man whose life story blurs the fragile line between the living and the dead. Ismail Azizi, now around 40 years old, is reported to have died on six distinct occasions — malaria, a workplace disaster, a motorcar crash, a snakebite, an accidental fall into a pit, and even a house fire — and each time, miraculously, he has returned to life.

Each return from death has come with loss: family ties strained, neighbours recoiling, and superstition carving a cold space around him. Neighbours have gone so far as to believe him cursed, others say witchcraft, some a punishment or a sacred sign.

Yet Ismail now resides in solitude, living a life that many would call haunted — not by spirits, but by his extraordinary tale. He speaks of his experiences not as shameful but as existential, full of questions: Why him? What force allows this repeated crossing back from beyond? Is it divine, medical misdiagnosis, or something else altogether? His story forces us to reckon with mortality, belief, and what it means to truly “live” when death has become a recurring visitor.
