An elderly woman 'died' twice in two days after doctors at a Spanish hospital wrongly certified her death and sent her to a local mortuary, only for her to be rushed back to a bed when a worker found her breathing.
Doctors at the San Juan de Dios Hospital in Zaragoza, northern Spain, certified the death of the unnamed woman, 90, and sent to the city's mortuary after she went into cardiac arrest.
The woman's daughter was told, upon arriving at the hospital, that she would not be able to see her mother's body as it had already been sent to the mortuary at the city's Torrero cemetery.
But a mortician suspected that the elderly woman was still alive after seeing her breathing, and managed to find a pulse.
San Juan de Dios Hospital told local media that she was immediately taken back to hospital at around 4am, and the woman's daughter was notified that her mother had in fact not died.
She went to see her mother, who was comatose in a hospital bed by then, before she definitively passed away at 6:30pm.

For a second there I was afraid it might have been Diane Feinstein!
Me too!
Should have stayed in the mortuary.
Typical woman, can’t make up her mind.
“make up her mind.”

My wife didn’t think it was as funny as I did. .... She will probably change her mind ..
a similar thing happened to my brother’s pet hamster when we were kids.
