HOW does this keep happening?? This is the second story I've heard about like this in just a couple months. I work in the funeral services industry and I cannot fathom how someone could get so far as to literally be IN THE CASKET while alive. There are just so many steps before it gets to that point. This is wild.
Exactly! Usually from where I'm from, once declared dead, the corpse would be sent to a funeral home to get out the insides and blood to prep it for wake. 🤔
This is called a "dead ringer" and origin of the term, to pull the string and ring the bell above the grave. Most people in the world are not embalmed and buried intact.
Exactly. I grew up hearing these stories from older relatives of people waking up during their funeral. Back in those days a lot of people died at home and were not embalmed.
There is no embalming in Latin America. The wake is very quick and the funeral happens usually in less than 24horas after passing. But I agree with you. How did that happen
They used to bury people with bells to ring in the coffin or telephones in case this happened. People put it in their instructions for when they died. It was very common.
That is really scary and to think she could have been buried alive is even scarier. Thank god she woke up before that happened. The fear she must have gone through. Someone better be charged for this.
@Lareth Huff I know someone that has drowned (and, obviously brought back) he said that once his body involuntarily breathed in the water, he drifted off & said it was the way he wanted go at the end. That, for me, is much more desirable than clawing at a tiny box slowly suffocating to death. No thanks! Cheers.
Here in Guatemala people are not embalmed, which means people who may have mistakenly been declared dead are not kllled before burial. I remember a news report about screaming at the graveyard that turned out to be someone buried alive. Sadly the person suffocated to death because the guards were scared to see what was going on.
This seems to happen a LOT down south of the border. Can someone send them a book in Spanish that teaches them how to tell if a person is dead or not. This is very inconvenient for grieving families. Flowers are being returned and funeral expense deposits have to be retained.
@@natureandbirdsounds1427 I forgot about that test. If they don’t have one, it might be a reflection on their society. No wonder they want to leave and migrate up north to Caucaslandia.
THIS happens more often than you know. It happened not long ago in South America, where the 3-year old child, woke-up at her own funeral and told her mom she was thirsty, drank the water, and then laid back down and died again. I remember other incidences in other countries, but it's happened in the USA before too, but usually at the funeral home. It's more likely to happen in countries that declare death, and then bury right away the same day or the next day, like in Muslim countries. They don't have the knowledge to determine that the people are just in a coma and not really dead.
Perhaps she did not die but maybe her brain was releasing large amounts of melatonin !!! Im no doc but it makes sense that something like that could happen 👍 just saying
You sure won't be alive after embalming, and in autopsies, they remove all the organs, including the brain, to examine for cause of death, then they put them back in the body. The lady was never really dead. Very scary indeed.
@@natureandbirdsounds1427 I doubt that would happen. If anybody, the embalmer would be the one to notice if someone was alive on their table. We can't exactly ignore blood pumping through someone's arteries.
@@Crackpot_Astronaut They have to be sure the person is dead before they drain all their blood, so there is some ethical burden to assure the person really is dead, which isn't always as easy as it sounds.
There are rare conditions that so slow the heart that it is silent longer than traditional check for heartbeat. One patiet warned me he was one, please check him 5 min, if he "died". He got up in the morgue once, and while waiting for the doctor to come pronounce him dead once.
Honestly there’s no telling how many steps a hospital in Ecuador goes through before assuming someone is dead. So she was already in a casket at the hospital? I guess that says something.
I plan to leave some instructions for my family of how many days and how and when I should be buried cause am telling you that would be a nightmare a horrible death to wake up under ground and inside a coffin
That is funny but regardless, the country is doing great and no chance boso trump will step back in. We aren't going to break anything that is not broken.
@@lindahandley5267 well, I mean, you can be clinically dead and brought back but only so long after the heart stops beating. If she made to her wake she was likely not dead when that call was made.
@@boneappletea3858 Of course. You can be 'clinically' dead when your heart stops beating and you stop breathing. That's 'near death'. I'm saying if you don't survive resuscitation, then there's no bringing you back. I don't know how they do things in Ecuador. Did they say that they tried resuscitate her or did they have a DNR on her?
There was one here not too long ago, back in February. Happened in Iowa. Woman got wrapped up and brought back to the funeral home, and a different employee saw the woman's chest moving when they unzipped her. Everybody in my prep room was talking about that one.
En Argentina casi nunca se embalsaman los cadáveres. Hace unos 40 o 50 años se hacían velatorios en los domicilios particulares y era muy común ver en los barrios casas con sus frentes llenos de coronas y vecinos en la puerta. Tradiciones que vinieron de Europa, pero que se fueron perdiendo con el tiempo. Hoy practicamente es imposible ver ese escenario en las ciudades.
