Man left in body bag for 5 hours after medics mistakenly declare him dead

In a scene straight out of a zombie movie, a Brazilian man was discovered awake and breathing in a body bag — five hours after paramedics mistakenly declared him dead. “The funeral home worker called me, desperately asking me to go there, that my brother was alive,” the victim’s sister Aparecida told Jam Press of the premature death pronouncement, which occurred late last month at the Hospital Estadual do Centro-Norte in Goiano. The pre-mortem man, Jose Ribeiro da Silva, 62, had been declared dead on November 29 with officials listing the official cause as complications from mouth cancer. The hospital even handed his family a death certificate.  See NY Post article
