In a shocking incident in the Czech Republic, an 88-year-old woman, initially declared dead, was discovered to be alive as morticians were placing her in a coffin.

The woman’s husband had found her unresponsive in bed, leading to the coroner’s initial declaration.

According to reports, the husband contacted the Pilsen emergency services seeking assistance for his wife, reporting that she was unresponsive.

Paramedics who arrived at the scene confirmed the woman’s apparent death, and the coroner’s office was subsequently notified.

Following the coroner’s confirmation of death, undertakers were summoned to transfer the body to a coffin.

The husband recounted that as the workers were moving the coffin within the apartment, they realized she was alive.

An ambulance was promptly called, and the woman was transported for medical attention.

While unusual, this occurrence bears resemblance to a rare medical phenomenon known as the Lazarus Effect.

Named after the biblical account of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead, the Lazarus Effect typically manifests after the cessation of CPR.

It often occurs following cardiac arrest and the administration of CPR.

This phenomenon is characterized by the reappearance of life signs in a patient clinically declared dead.

After a period of time, the patient exhibits signs of life that persist for more than a few seconds.

The reports indicate that there were 74 confirmed cases in the U.S. between 1982 and 2022.

The underlying mechanism or cause of the Lazarus Effect remains .
