Women Wakes up Inside Her Own Coffin After Coroner Declared Her Dead

  • An 88-year-old woman in Pilsen, Czech Republic, was mistakenly declared dead and woke up while being prepared for burial on a Friday morning.
  • Her unresponsive condition led her husband to call emergency services, and a coroner legally pronounced her dead before funeral workers handled her body.
  • Funeral staff noticed signs of life, such as breathing and opening her eyes, and alerted authorities who then dispatched medical help and transported her to hospital.
  • The ambulance spokesman stated the operations centre followed protocols, but police are investigating the coroner for possible negligence, while the coroner's company apologized and promised repercussions.
  • The woman is reportedly recovering well in hospital, but the case highlights risks of premature death declarations and ongoing scrutiny of medical and legal procedures involved.
