Teen allegedly mistakes tomato for pot
CALI, Colombia, Feb. 19 (UPI) -- A woman thought to be dead was sent back to a hospital in Colombia after workers at a funeral parlor noticed she was breathing and moving, the hospital says.
Noelia Serna, 45, was transported to the funeral home hours after she was pronounced dead of multiple organ failure, Britain's Daily Telegraph reports.
Serna started breathing and moving when funeral home workers began to apply formaldehyde to her body, the Web site Metro.co.uk says.
The woman was in a coma.
Doctors at the hospital say Serna may have been suffering from Lazarus Syndrome, an extremely rare phenomenon in which circulation restarts spontaneously.
