QUITO - An elderly Ecuadoran woman who woke up inside a coffin at her own wake is being treated at the same state hospital that declared her dead two days earlier, her son said on Sunday.
A video posted on Twitter shows Ms Bella Montoya, 76, in her open coffin, breathing heavily while two men assist her. Her son Gilbert Balberan said that his mother was “hitting the box” with her left hand after the five-hour wake. Mr Balberan had to arrange for the donation of a coffin for the impoverished family after the Martin Icaza public hospital, in the coastal town of Babahoyo, declared Ms Montoya dead on Friday.Ecuadoran media reported the unusual incident, with headlines celebrating the woman’s “resurrection”.“My mom is on oxygen. Her heart is stable. The doctor pinched her hand and she reacted,” Mr Balberan said in an El Universo newspaper report.
The ministry said it had established a committee to investigate the incident and that it would supervise Ms Montoya’s care.“Little by little I am grasping what has happened. Now I only pray for my mother’s health to improve. I want her alive and by my side,” he said. - AFP
