A woman declared dead by the coroner after her husband found her unresponsive in bed was being placed in a coffin when morticians made a startling discovery — she was very much alive.
The horrifying tale from the Czech Republic unfolded when an 88-year-old woman, who was thought to be dead, showed signs of life in her coffin.
According to Blesk.cz, the husband of the woman thought to be deceased called the Pilsen emergency services to potentially help his wife.
The husband told the emergency dispatcher that “she didn’t move, she didn’t breathe,” according to the report.
When paramedics arrived, they confirmed the woman’s death, and the coroners were dispatched to the apartment.
The coroner also confirmed the woman’s death, and undertakers were called to move the body into the coffin.
The husband also told Blesk that “the workers transferred her to the coffin, and when they were right here in the apartment in the hallway by the door, they found out she was alive.”
An ambulance arrived shortly after, and the woman was transported to the hospital.
While this may seem like something out of a horror story, this rare medical occurrence has happened before.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, it’s known as the Lazarus Effect.
Named after the biblical story of Jesus raising Lazarus back from the dead, this usually occurs after CPR ends.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Greatly exaggerated.
George Washington was known to have a fear of being buried alive, also known as taphophobia. He instructed his secretary, Tobias Lear, to ensure his body was not placed in the vault for at least three days after his death, according to the Mount Vernon website. This was to allow time for any signs of life to become evident, or for any signs of death to be unmistakable.
A movie about somebody else.
Correct
Good thing they skipped the mortician.

Going for a walk
merely pining for the fjords.
It is a sign of the times that a US newspaper has to explain who Lazarus was. Lazamataz - not Lazarus.
Sorry, Lazarus, not Lazamataz
mea maxima culpa
She had to be a democrat
Both are “Dead Ringers!”
That term entered my head once I read the title.
“I don’t want to go on the cart!”
“I feel happy!”
worst nightmare. People in the old countries actually had bells on strings (The bells are above ground- though I’d want something louder than a bell) incase they come back to life (before embalming became a thing)
I was gonna suggest maybe take a cell phone into the coffin- just incase, but my luck I’d get buried where there isn’t any reception
There was a “Twilight Zone” show about this.
Some DemocRAT “paradises” have the Motor Voter Law. Whenever you interact with the DMV (license, registration, etc) you are registered to vote. A few years after this Motor Voter insanity went into effect, these same democRAT States passed laws that give illegal trespassers a “legal” driver’s license. No chance of voter fraud here. /s
Sooooo...will democRATs soon demand “voting rights” for the recently deceased? Will the democRATs state that “until we are absolutely sure they are no longer breathing, we MUST protect the sanctity of the vote”
Will they have to prove that they have not taken even one breath in 3 election cycles in order to be removed from the voter rolls?
And that my friends is why we run a 3 lead EKG before we call them deceased!
So she was never embalmed?
Many in Europe are not
