A 91-year-old Polish woman was declared dead and spent hours
in a morgue before waking up, to the astonishment of hospital staff and
relatives. Her demise and resurrection had apparently created an appetite, as she ate soup and pancakes.
Janina Kolkiewicz was declared dead by local medics in a small town of Ostrow Lubelski in eastern Poland, reported TVP public broadcaster. She had no pulse, was not breathing and her eyes didn’t react to light.
- But 11 hours later she woke up inside a body bag in the cold chamber of the local morgue. The dramatic event happened on November 6, but the information emerged in the local press only on Thursday.
- “I was sure she was dead,” Kolkiewicz’s doctor, Wieslawa Czyz, who has 28 years of medical practice, told TVP. “I’m stunned, I don’t understand what happened. Her heart had stopped beating, she was no longer breathing.”
