[LA Times] A 78-year-old man declared dead and zipped into a body bag began moving and breathing when placed on a table inside a Lexington, Miss., funeral home. And the local coroner said he believes it's nothing short of a miracle from God.......or hasty Holmes County coroner work. You decide.
Walter Williams' family and hospice nurse called authorities Wednesday evening to report that the Lexington man had died. Holmes County Coroner Dexter Howard told the Los Angeles Times on Friday that he arrived and checked the body, which showed no signs of a pulse or heartbeat. Williams was zipped into a body bag, and transported to Porter & Sons Funeral Home, where he was placed on a table for embalming.
"Once we got to the funeral home ... and got him on the table, he began to move and his legs began to kick and he began to take long, deep breaths," Howard said. Williams was then rushed to a local hospital and stunned family members were notified.
Kicking, cursing, and rapid eye movement.... dead giveaways, so to speak.
So either an incompetent coroner or a religious miracle. Hmmm, what to think, what to think...
