Lazarus of Bethany. His death, burial, and resurrection by Jesus after being entombed for four days ("Lord, by this time he stinketh") was witnessed and attested to by many, including Jesus' enemies.
But of course Lazarus doesn't count, because the story of his resurrection is found in the eleventh chapter of the Gospel of St. John, and for some reason contemporaneous historical documentation from the Bible doesn't count.

Why has it not happened in thousands of years? Why has there been no recordings of such since physical recording devices have existed?
And, once Lazarus was resurrected, his consciousness was in a body. There is no Biblical statement on Lazarus' consciousness existing while he was "dead" (assuming he was: we don't know) -- nor after his eventual final demise.
There are modern cases of people mistakenly thought to be dead. Medical technology still doesn’t solve the situation completely, as evidenced by the recent debate over Terri Schaivo.
Not too long ago, perfectly sensible people had alarm systems installed on their coffins for the possibility that they might be buried alive.
In the translation you linked, the person saying that “by this time he stinketh” is making an assumption, since the tomb has not yet been opened.
I’m not claiming my version is the true one, but you imply that the only options are a miracle vs a lie.
