Woman wakes up in coffin!

OutlawPete

Christmas Eve they stick her in a coffin and then on Christmas Day embalmers working on the woman's body notice she's still breathing and rush her to hospital where they declare her alive.

Brazilian woman wakes up in her coffin hours before she would have been buried alive.

THE old woman seemed at death’s door when she arrived at the hospital.

And after treatment, doctors reluctantly concluded that no more could be done to save 88-year-old Maria Das Dores Conceicao.
On Christmas Eve they signed her death certificate, giving the cause as high blood pressure and clogging of the arteries, and sent her off to the funeral parlour.

A funeral parlour worker saw movement and noticed an 88-year-old woman was breathing as he prepared her for burial

And from there she would have been taken to church for burial but for one significant fact. She wasn’t dead.
Workers preparing the body for interment noticed that Mrs Conceicao appeared still to be breathing and was twitching slightly.
They raised the alarm and she was swiftly returned to the Brazilian hospital which had declared her deceased.
Doctors gave her emergency treatment while she was still in her coffin, and yesterday she remained clinging to life in intensive care, having missed her funeral scheduled for 5pm on Christmas Day.

Maria Das Dores has now returned - IN her coffin - to the same Municipal Hospital that declared her dead

Her granddaughter Noeme Silva Amancio, 31, was among the first family members to welcome Mrs Conceicao back to life. She said: ‘When I got to the hospital’s emergency first-aid entrance, I sighted grandma in her coffin, which was inside the funeral hearse.
‘She was breathing and moving about more than when she had been initially hospitalised.’

Management of the hospital at Ipatinga, in the state of Minas Gerais, are investigating how staff almost managed to ensure Mrs Conceicao was buried alive.
She has a history of high blood pressure, vascular disease and Alzheimer’s, and had part of her right leg amputated in November.

Her daughter Custodia Amancio said: ‘We are happy to know my mother is alive and unhappy with the lack of respect shown to her.
‘We are still not sure if we will sue the municipality and hospital. She continues in the intensive ward treatment sector and we are praying that she will improve quickly.’

That's it, I'm sticking it in my will that I want to be buried with a mobile phone: they'll work six feet under, right?

It's either that or cremation (cue nightmares tonight now).

She's 88.

At that age, you're better off dead.

General Mentalness took over most of South America in 1976 & has been a dictator ever since.

How will you bring your mobile phone with you if your dead.

You can request things to be placed in your coffin when you're buried.

Few beers, a torch and some KFC might also might be a good idea, just in case the signal is not the best.

No, it generates oxygen in confined spaces.

The Mailonline ran the very same story this time last year.

Its a story resurrected annually, although there's probably a little truth in it somewhere.

This is where the expression "Saved by the bell" comes from.

Throughout history, there are cases of bodies being exhumed and scratch marks being found on the inside of coffin lids.

So, gravediggers would place a bell atop the grave, with a string attached that went down to the coffin and was tied to the corpses' finger. If the person was alive, the bell would ring as they moved. They would then be dug up & thus were Saved by the bell".

Yeah this is true and its an Irish tradition, it was common that people would use pewter plates and foods with a high acidic content would often draw the lead out causing poisoning and making people to go into a coma like state. So Irish people would often fear being buried alive, this is where the Irish 'wake' comes from where people would have a drink, sing, play music and have a party that would 'wake the dead'.


There was a famous case of a woman who lived once and buried twice in my home town in county Armagh http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marjorie_McCall

Wouldn't the will normally be read after you were buried ? So they'd have to dig you up to put in the phone !

According to todays Indo, she died after:

An elderly woman was declared dead - and woke up hours later inside a coffin at the undertakers.
The 88-year-old woman died two days after the incident and police in Brazil's Minas Gerais state are investigating if poor medical care and the misdiagnosis contributed to her death.
The O Globo newspaper, citing a press release from the Ipatinga mayor's office, says doctors thought Maria das Dores da Conceicao had died on Wednesday afternoon.
But she awoke inside the coffin four hours later and was rushed back to hospital.
The mayor's statement said she died on Friday. It did not give a cause, but said she suffered from hypertension.

When they sent her back to the same hospital who wrongly misdiagnosed her as dead, I hope it wasn't a case of the snr doctor saying to the junior doctor
"Make sure she's dead this time"

"She is now..." :eek::eek:

Well, in the same way as your family are supposed to know if you would prefer to be cremated or buried I suppose.

Makes you wonder how people with no family let people know about their cremation wishes.

Think I'll get a tattoo:

"Hey embalmer, I wanna be cremated".
