Yup, you read the headline correctly…

28-year-old Muhammad Khan appeared in court after the shocking incident that took place Friday night after he rushed the Queen’s casket to check if she was alive.

“At the time when you were in Westminster, you didn’t accept that the queen was dead and that was the reason you were moving towards the coffin to satisfy yourself that she was,” Judge Michael Snow told the defendant during the hearing, per the BBC.

“The defendant had reached Westminster Hall. He was then seen by officers, who were present, to approach the coffin…He stepped off the carpet in the direction of the catafalque, then grabbed hold of the Royal Standard flag draped over the coffin with both of his hands,” prosecutor Luke Staton said describing the situation.

A live television feed showed the defendant running out of line and climbing the steps of the catafalque before touching the Queen’s coffin. “The defendant did express the idea that the Queen is not dead and that he approached the coffin because wanted to check for himself,” declared Staton. Khan had planned to write to the Royal Family and if they didn’t reply, he planned on visiting the palace, Windsor Castel and Balmoral, all in attempt to make contact with the Queen. When asked how many times he’d attempted this mission, he stated, “As long as I am living.”

Khan was charged with behavior intending to cause alarm, harassment or distress. He was let out on bail on the condition that he stays in a mental-health hospital until his next court appearance. Despite this, Khan was declared unfit to participate in the legal proceedings after doctors determined he had been experiencing delusions.
