Staying Dead!

I used to have a neighboor in Argentina who had a grandmother that was like 90 years old and suffered from a rare dicease (I cannot recall the name of it) anyhow, one day this old lady passed away, there was of course a funeral service and for the surprise of all the family and friends there, the old lady in the middle of the service got up in her coffin and call her daughter! Everybody was soooo scared!!!. The doctors came and they could not explained how the heart of this lady have been stopped for such a long time (let me mention that as soon as a person dies in Argentina by law you must buried the person within 24 hours). A couple of years passed, and this old lady 'died' again, and of course a new service was offered and the same thing happened! she got up in the middle of the service!!!!!. If I didn't know the family personally and this old lady, I would think they were lying or making a bad joke.
Anyhow, the old lady passed away for good the third time but you can imagine everybody was expecting her to get up but she did not. Have you ever heard of any cases like that?.

Dead Staying

This reminds me of a woman that used to speak with the dead 'clients' in a morgue. She said she was very bored with the long nights, so she would open the door to the cold room and chat with a 'client', one day one started to talk back - he was alive! True story.

Oh my gosh! you're kidding!. How come the person was alive? Any more info or link you can post here so I can research more?.

Dead Staying

Well, that wouldn't happen in the US because the mortician drains your blood and fills you with embalming fluid. If you weren't dead when you got to the funeral home, you would be rather quickly! I believe in the US, we use more than heart beat to determine death though. I think you also have to have no active brain waves as well.

Dead Staying

I guess that because the lady was so old, they didn't check all the signs properly but I do think they should do something like Tena mentioned, draining the blood or something to make sure.
