Old woman found alive in coffin in Ecuador

“I lifted the coffin, her heart was pounding, her left hand was hitting the coffin… We called 911 to take her to the hospital,” her son Gilberto Barbera said in a video posted on social media.

In the video, people are seen waiting and supporting Bella Montoya as emergency services arrive at the scene and take the 76-year-old back to the hospital. According to Ecuador's Ministry of Health, a state investigation is currently underway.

They said the woman was admitted to hospital on Friday with a possible stroke and cardiopulmonary arrest, and after she failed to respond to resuscitation, a doctor on duty pronounced her dead.

Ecuador’s health ministry said Ms Montoya was in intensive care at Martín Icaza Hospital in Babahoyo – the same facility that initially declared her dead. Her current condition is unclear.

Ecuador's Ministry of Health said that in coordination with the Agency for Quality Assurance of Health Services, a national technical committee has been created “to initiate a medical control to determine responsibility for the alleged confirmation of death.”
