'Dead' Man Comes Back to Life in Funeral Home
 

SANTA FE, N.M. (Reuters) - A New Mexico funeral home owner received the surprise of his career when a man pronounced dead at a hospital came back to life just before he was to be embalmed.

Russell Muffley, the owner of Muffley Funeral Home in Clovis, New Mexico, said he noticed Felipe Padilla breathing when the man pronounced dead at a hospital was being transferred to his facility on Wednesday. Padilla, 94, was rushed back to the same hospital, but did not recover. He was declared dead for a second time.
"When we were getting ready to move him from the stretcher to the embalming table, we noticed signs of life," Muffley said.
Padilla was breathing on his own but not speaking when paramedics took him from the funeral home back to Plains Regional Medical Center. He died a few hours later and was taken back to the funeral home, where arrangements had already been made.
Padilla will be buried next week.
"I have been doing this for 39 years and this has never happened before," Muffley said.

man now thaqts why we need better medical facilities they coulda murdered him without even knowing it:confused:

That's crazy.

i know im sure they should no if he was dead or not once i heard a story when a guy was actually buried and started shouting whilst underground:eek:

I have heard of this story before... but the person was not that old though... I cant remember where it was but I have heard of this happening in the past... interesting story..

And they try and say that it doesn't happen nowadays.

see, that's why they should poke them with a needle before embalming. Not like a syringe type one, but a sewing needle. Somewhere where it would hurt enough to get 'em to move.
If they're dead, and a vein gets cut, blood shouldn't squirt out, right? Assuming that I am, they could open up a vein. If they're alive, they'll know. If not, the body won't care.

Well, he obviously wasn't dead. Maybe a coma.

damn those doctors

well not to be rude, but
 

that would happen to me i would finally "die" and then they bring me back to "life" it would be sweet but the people who hand you crept to live ur life loves getting a good laugh out of me.
