A funeral wake for a 76-year-old nurse in Ecuador took an interesting turn when the woman began knocking on the coffin to let everyone know she was alive.The woman's son told local press "There were about 20 of us there.... After about five hours of the wake, the coffin started to make sounds. My mum was wrapped in sheets and hitting the coffin, and when we approached we could see that she was breathing heavily." The woman was then lifted out of the coffin and rushed to the hospital, where she is reportedly in a dire situation. Officials have several questions for another hospital, the one where the woman was declared dead. She was declared dead when she didn't respond to resuscitation after arriving to the hospital unconscious.
