'Dead' woman found breathing in coffin at own funeral

Now she is in intensive care in the same hospital where doctors declared her death.

Doesn't sound reassuring.

"I'm not dead!"
"I'm sure she will be soon, she's very ill."

I'm guessing they just had an extremely weak pulse? I worry that hospitals will start cudgeling patients to make sure! Although I think I'd prefer that to waking up in a buried coffin...

Perhaps we should bring back safety coffins?

Well that sounds like a shitty experience for sure

...that's going to insure i have fresh new nightmare fuel for a while. My god.

It would be even stranger if she was found breathing in a coffin at someone else’s funeral.

Do they not embalm bodies?

For those who skip reading articles: This happened in Babahoyo, Ecuador. The woman was declared dead and immediately placed into a casket. The family arrives hours later to dress her in funeral attire and find her breathing.

Great! That's a sentence I never wanna read ever again

Aren't bodies usually embalmed before funerals? In this case it's a good thing she wasn't, but usually it helps avoid the whole being buried alive problem.
