A woman in Ecuador who was first mistakenly declared dead and gave signs of life during the vigil has now actually died. The woman died after seven days in intensive care, the Ministry of Health in Quito confirmed via Twitter. During the hospital stay, she received extensive medical care and was regularly examined by specialists, the report reports Friday (local time).
The woman was taken to a clinic in the town of Babahoyo, Los Ríos Province, on June 9 with suspected stroke. The doctor on duty pronounced her dead because she had failed to respond to CPR measures.
As relatives were about to move the alleged body into the coffin for burial at their vigil, the 76-year-old gave signs of life and breathing again, as the newspaper “El Universo” reported, citing the family.
The Ministry of Health has announced that it is investigating the matter. The cabinet wants to clarify how it could happen that the woman was first wrongly declared dead in the hospital and then almost buried. (aeg/sda/dpa)
