A woman who ‘came to life’ during a vigil dies

An elderly Ecuadorian woman who was pronounced dead and who “resurrected” at a vigil a week ago was declared dead on Friday officially dead at a hospital in the coastal town of Babahoyo, according to news sources.

The woman, identified as Bella Montoya and 76 years old, was in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) from the hospital “Martín Icaza” in Babahoy, where she was transferred after her relatives rescued her from the coffin when they realized she was still breathing.

A source from the Ministry of Health told the Ecuavisa television network that the woman, whose condition is serious in the ICU, “has already undergone an autopsy.”
