A Brazilian man came back to life after a funeral home realised he was still breathing as they prepared his body for his wake.
Juraci Rosa Alves was admitted to a hospital on May 16, where a doctor declared him d£ad due to respiratory failure.
A funeral home was then called and Alves, 88, was transported there for standard post-d£ath procedures.
But while staff were preparing the body for the wake, they detected signs of life.
Jacqueline Brogiato, the funeral home’s technical nursing supervisor, told local media: “Our funeral staff carried out the transfer as a standard procedure.
