'Dead' Man Comes Back to Life at Funeral Home
'Dead' Man Comes Back to Life at Funeral Home
SANTA FE, N.M. (Reuters) - A New Mexico funeral home owner received the surprise of his career when a man pronounced dead at a hospital came back to life just before he was to be embalmed. Russell Muffley, the owner of Muffley Funeral Home in Clovis, New Mexico, said he noticed Felipe Padilla breathing when the man pronounced dead at a hospital was being transferred to his facility on Wednesday. Padilla, 94, was rushed back to the same hospital, but did not recover. He was declared dead for a second time. "When we were getting ready to move him from the stretcher to the embalming table, we noticed signs of life," Muffley said. Padilla was breathing on his own but not speaking when paramedics took him from the funeral home back to Plains Regional Medical Center. He died a few hours later and was taken back to the funeral home, where arrangements had already been made. Padilla will be buried next week. "I have been doing this for 39 years and this has never happened before," Muffley said.

"...was taken back to the funeral home, where arrangements had already been made."
I'm sorry, but that's funny. I thought this was going to be a story about someone sitting up in the coffin at the viewing or something. Although I guess it would be difficult getting through the embalming process.

It really reads like a punch line, doesn't it?

Well, i believe his family will now of course sue the hospital. I mean proclaiming a guy dead is rather a big one ain't it?

Yes, a most costly mistake, considering the guy was 91 and likely going to die anyway. They screw up, he lives for a few more hours, then dies.
