Freddie Mcguire, 47, was declared dead by doctors after he suffered a heart attack on Easter. As his family was coming to terms with his death and preparing his funeral, a member of the hospital staff saw him move his hand. Friends and neighbors dubbed him as Jesus Christ, due to his miraculous resurrection on Easter.

This isn’t the first case I’ve heard about, where a person is pronounced dead by medical personnel, only to be discovered alive days later. Some of these people regained consciousness while lying inside the morgue.

Hit by a car in 1976, George Rodonaia, a Soviet doctor, was left in a mortuary for three days. He showed obvious signs of life only after a doctor began to make an incision in his stomach as part of a postmortem examination. He claimed to be conscious for much of the experience, saying: “All about me there was darkness . . . I remembered Descartes’s famous line, ‘I think, therefore I am’. And it was then I knew I was still alive”
