For this 91-year-old woman, a wake up call in the morgue was the result. Everyone has a few stories about waking up somewhere weird: the back of your friends car, the middle of a field, et cetera. How many people, though, can say they’ve woken up in a morgue? That’s exactly what happened to a 91-year-old woman in Ostrow Lubelski, a town in Poland. After a doctor pronounced her dead, Janina Kolkiewicz was sent to a funeral home. Her body was placed in cold storage. 11 hours later, she woke up. CNN’s Polish affiliate station TVN reports that she’s now home and in stable condition. They interviewed the doctor who signed the death certificate: “I checked the pulse on the forearm artery, carotid artery also,” claimed the doctor. “I listened to the heart, to the breathing. I also examined the pupils. There were no reflexes. Typical symptoms of death.” The family was already planning services when they received a call from the funeral home with the unexpected news. Confused authorities are trying to piece the story together. They’re considering criminal charges against the doctor: “We are investigating whether the doctor exposed the woman to imminent danger of loss of life, as the lady was moved to a funeral home and kept in cold storage,” said Beata Syk-Jankowska, a spokeswoman for the local prosecutor’s office Lublin, in an interview with TVN. While this is a serious issue of life and death, the situation does provide a remarkable parallel with Monty Python’s classic “Not Dead Yet” skit. Everyone be careful out there during your particularly long naps though. |

She should thank God. Its not easy pronouncing death but there never us any mistake about it. Fine the dr called it but nurses packed, attendants wheeled the body and nobody noticed she still had a pulse or was breathing. Come in man..... |

She was 91 years old -- na 1/4 to go be that. Even if she was asleep any sane person would think she passed on. |
