'Dead' woman found breathing in coffin
Mourners at the wake of an Ecuadorean woman were startled to discover she was still alive.
A hospital doctor in the city of Babahoyo declared Bella Montoya, 76, dead following a suspected stroke.
She was placed in a coffin and taken to a funeral parlour, where relatives held a vigil before her planned burial.
When, after almost five hours, they opened the coffin to change her clothes ahead of the funeral, the woman gasped for air.
This is scary. Imagine if that woman had awaken a few hours or even days later, just to find herself trapped in a coffin. Imagine waking up to find yourself buried alive. Even scarier: some people get cremated. It's like a horror film.
This has happened before earlier this year to an elderly woman in New York. The article links to some other stories where people "woke up" in a morgue or freezer.
@vivify saidShe identified as alive, therefore not even death could deny the truth.

Proclaiming ones identity is the key.
@vivify saidThis is one of those primal fears people have, right up there with waking up during surgery.
