Dead Colombian woman not really all that dead

A Colombian woman was declared dead after a heart attack only to move her arm several hours later just as the undertaker was about to embalm her.

Serna, who has multiple sclerosis, was admitted to the same Cali University Hospital on Monday after a heart attack, Rendon said. She survived for about 10 hours on life support, but then seemingly didn’t respond to resuscitation efforts following a second attack. She was declared dead early Tuesday.

About two hours later, funeral home employee Jaime Aullon was just about to inject embalming fluid into Serna’s left leg when he saw her move.

“She was moving her right arm,” he said. “I stopped the procedure and brought her back to the hospital to be treated.”
