Declared dead, 76-year-old woman revives 5 hours into wake, starts knocking on inside of coffin
"After about five hours of the wake, the coffin started to make sounds. My mom was wrapped in sheets and hitting the coffin."A 76-year-old woman who was declared dead at a hospital in Ecuador astonished her relatives by knocking on her coffin during her wake, and the incident has prompted a government investigation into the hospital.
"It gave us all a fright," Barbera said, adding that doctors have said his mother's situation remains dire. Montoya initially had been admitted Friday at the hospital with a possible stroke and cardiopulmonary arrest, and when she did not respond to resuscitation a doctor on duty declared her dead, the ministry said.
The family then brought her to a funeral home and were holding a wake later Friday when they started to hear strange sounds.
