A woman recently declared dead in a hospital in Ecuador turned out to be the opposite.

The 76-year-old woman was alive and banging from her coffin at her own wake! “I lifted up the coffin, and her heart was pounding, and her left hand was hitting the coffin…” her son shared on social media. “We called 911 to bring her here to the hospital.”

According to reports, the woman was declared dead after not responding to resuscitation attempts following a possible stroke.

According to the country’s Ministry of Health, an investigation is underway.
