QUITO, Ecuador — A 76-year-old woman who was declared dead at a hospital in Ecuador astonished her relatives by knocking on her coffin during her wake, and the incident has prompted a government investigation into the hospital.
“It gave us all a fright,” Barbera said, adding that doctors have said his mother’s situation remains dire. Montoya initially had been admitted Friday at the hospital with a possible stroke and cardiopulmonary arrest, and when she did not respond to resuscitation a doctor on duty declared her dead, the ministry said.
The family then brought her to a funeral home and were holding a wake later Friday when they started to hear strange sounds.
