Have you heard this amazing story, about the guy who was declared dead, but came back to life just as he was about to be embalmed?

If it were me, when I saw that body bag start to move, I would have screamed and ran out of there fast!

Also, what do they tell the grieving family?

"Yeah, you know how your dad just died?

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, not so much."

"What?"

"He's not so dead."

Then, when he really does die, I can just imagine the family saying, "Are you sure? Are you really, really sure?"

He might be alive, but I would be dead if I heard and saw this.

I know! Right? *lol*

If the coroner pronounced him dead @ 9pm Thursday & they discovered his movements the next morning...caused by his pacemaker starting again...I wonder how long he was without oxygen? I hope this isn't a repeat of brain-dead, vented body story. Family members "said" he was commenting on this, but....I dunno. Weird story, yes.

Will the coroner be charged? He should be.

If he did everything by the book, why would any coroner expect a pacemaker to suddenly start up again?

Well if he's moving it's not just the pacemaker.

He was declared dead.

No activity of any kind.

Dead.

Dead.

Dead.

Pacemaker had stopped working.

At the mortuary, pacemaker started up again.

That got the heart beating again.

Which got him to moving again.

It's all very simple really.

I'm glad he is alive but when I saw the story it gave me the creeps! This is not the first time this happened either.

I know what you mean. If that had happened to me, there would be a Yuban shaped hole in the door!
