Columbian comes back to life in funeral home
A woman pronounced dead by doctors in Colombia has been rushed back to the hospital after a funeral home worker saw her move while preparing her body.
Noelia Serna was admitted to a Cali hospital on Monday after suffering a heart attack and was on life support before doctors declared her dead.
Speaking from the hospital, Dr Miguel Angel Saavedra said the 45-year-old showed no vital signs: “The electronic devices that she was connected to showed that there was no heartbeat nor arterial tension.
Because of that, the respiratory therapist performed a test when she removed the respirator and the patient could not breath on her own.
Sadly she was declared deceased.“Funeral home worker Jaime Aullon told reporters: “I stopped the process.
And as soon as I stopped I started looking at her whole body and I noticed her midsection moving. I placed my hand here (pointing to his nose and mouth) and I felt her breathing. I told my partner that she should go back to hospital because she is alive.“
