Doesn't sound reassuring.
Imagine if she gets declared dead in the same hospital twice
"I'm not dead!"
"I'm sure she will be soon, she's very ill."
I'm guessing they just had an extremely weak pulse? I worry that hospitals will start cudgeling patients to make sure! Although I think I'd prefer that to waking up in a buried coffin...
Perhaps we should bring back safety coffins?
I’m just going to get a tv installed in mine
This is exactly why I want to be cremated.
Light a man a fire and he'll be warm for the night.
Light a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

I've thought of that, but hey, if I'm unconscious enough that you think I'm dead, I probably won't mind the burning either, and at least I won't be waking up.
Well that sounds like a shitty experience for sure
Do they not embalm bodies?
It would be even stranger if she was found breathing in a coffin at someone else’s funeral.
...that's going to insure i have fresh new nightmare fuel for a while. My god.
For those who skip reading articles: This happened in Babahoyo, Ecuador. The woman was declared dead and immediately placed into a casket. The family arrives hours later to dress her in funeral attire and find her breathing.
Great! That's a sentence I never wanna read ever again
Aren't bodies usually embalmed before funerals? In this case it's a good thing she wasn't, but usually it helps avoid the whole being buried alive problem.
