An 84 year old Polish woman from the village of Jablonow near Zwolen, which the doctor from the emergency services declared dead, woke up a few hours later at the morgue, reports the police spokesperson Radomu January Majewski, reports PAP.

The unnamed woman lost consciousness, because of which her husband called an ambulance.

“The doctor confirmed her death, so the family started preparing for her funeral, whilst the funeral company took the body to the morgue. However, a few hours later a morgue worker noticed that the bag was moving and he called a doctor who determined the return of life functions” added Majewski.

The woman was immediately hospitalised in Zwolen, and transferred to the intensive care unit. Her condition was serious on Saturday. The director of the hospital informed the police who have now started an investigation, says the spokesperson.
