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

Doesn't sound reassuring.

Imagine if she gets declared dead in the same hospital twice

"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?

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

Ah yes, my deepest fear...

This is exactly why I want to be cremated.

[–] JackOfAllTraits@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ah yes - burned alive

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.

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.

Do they not embalm bodies?
