'Dead' woman comes back to life right before funeral in Karnataka

A 55-year-old Indian woman came back to life while her family was preparing the funeral after she was declared dead by a team of doctors in Karnataka. According to reports, Malati Chougule was rushed to hospital after suffering from a high fever and doctors failed to revive her in Karnataka. The incident took place at a remote village of Belagavi but later medical officials offered a clarification that she was discharged on the request of relatives. The hospital also reportedly claimed that she was not pronounced dead, therefore the question of negligence is subject of debate. 

However, Chougule from southwestern India was admitted in a private hospital and was reportedly pronounced dead by noon. As her family kept her body in the lawn while starting the funeral preparations, she miraculously opened her eyes convincing the assembled mourners that it is a real-life miracle. However, some family members explained that she might have been misdiagnosed of a short-lived coma.
