doctors, family, friends. They thought everything was dead, but then Bella Montoya († 76) knocked on the coffin in Ecuador with her last strength. Shortly before her own funeral, the elderly woman shocked those at her wake. A video posted to Twitter shows the 76-year-old breathing heavily in her open coffin as two men help her. Ecuadorian media celebrated the unusual incident as a “resurrection” of the woman.

But she didn’t have long in this world. Montoya died a week after her “resurrection”. “This time my mother really died,” Gilbert Barbera told El Universo newspaper. He prayed that his mother’s health would improve and that she would live a long time. This wish was not granted.

According to the doctor, the heart stopped beating after a stroke

After his mother was pronounced dead a week ago, he had to arrange a coffin donation for the impoverished family.

According to the health ministry, Montoya was taken to hospital with a suspected stroke, went into cardiac arrest and failed to respond to CPR measures, so the doctor on duty pronounced her dead.

Balberán said he visited his mother in the hospital’s intensive care unit on Sunday. How it came about that the woman was declared dead is being investigated, the Ministry of Health said after the incident. (jmh/AFP)
