10 – Walter Williams,
- A 78 year old man from Mississippi who was accurately described as dead by one of the nurses who looked after him in 2014
- A coroner was informed, and he too verified that Walter was dead, but just as he was getting shoved in a body bag, it was noticed that Walter seemed to be kicking his legs, so they listened to his chest and noticed a heart beat
- It was later theorised that his heart had been later jump-started by a defibrillator embedded in his chest
9 – Luz Milagros Veron,
- This baby was born three months premature, and quickly sent off to the morgue
- Luckily though, her parents insisted they be allowed to see her one last time, and it was inside the coffin sealed for 12 hours they heard a faint cry – it was opened and there was baby Luz cold and weak but very much alive
- Originally the babies name was to be Lucia, but they changed it because her new name means “Miracle Light”
8 – Saudi Woman,
- It was 2009 when a Caesarean gone wrong happened to a woman in labour, and she died
- The husband was given the birth-defected baby and a dead certificate for his late wife, and her body was hauled away to the morgue
- Two hours later though, she awoke in the freezer and started screaming and banging the door until a worker came to rescue her
- The husband was forced to return her death certificate since, despite his hope, he couldn’t keep it as a souvenir
7 – Carlos Camejo,
- A man from Venezuela who woke up during his own autopsy – declared dead in a highway accident in 2007, he was taken away by medical examiners before his wife could even identify the corpse
- In the midst of his autopsy, when they were cutting into his face, they noted the absurdly high amount of fresh blood falling out, and then Carlos woke up screaming and hollering, with the surgeons falling over themselves to stitch up the wound
- Carlos later noted “I woke up because the pain was unbearable”
6 – Erica Nigrelli,
- This is a horrifying story that ends quite happily – Erica was an English teacher from Missouri, pregnant with her child when, one day, she passed out
- Her husband called 911 and soon she was taken to hospital – but her heart stopped and they had to deliver the baby from her corpse before it too, died
- After the delivery, her heart began beating again and she was put into a medically-induced coma for five days
- It turns out all she needed was a pacemaker, so now both her and her daughter are alive to this day
A note about Anne Green – the bastard child was pre-mature and never lived, though she was /accused/ of murdering it. She hid it with the plans to bury it the next day, too weak to do it at the time. The father was the heir to a manor, and when the head of the house found out, he blamed Anne for being a liar. Having political ties and wanting to protect his heir (who was bound to be married to another woman) he rigged the court process so that Anne would be convicted. She was then given to doctors to cut open for dissection, but instead, they found signs of life in her and nursed her back to health.
