91-year-old Alive in Morgue 11 Hours After ‘Death’

A 91-year-old
Polish woman, Janina Kolkiewicz, who was declared
dead was found to be alive while still inside her
body bag in a morgue's cold storage area 11
hours after she was declared dead.
Janina Kolkiewicz's niece, Bogumila
Kolkiewicz, said she called her family's
physician, Dr. Wieslawa Czyz, when she
found her aunt was not breathing and did
not seem to have a pulse at their Lubartow
home.
Czyz confirmed the elder Kolkiewicz was
deceased and wrote out a death certificate
for the woman.
However, the death certificate had to be
invalidated when morgue staff found
Kolkiewicz moving inside of her body bag.
Kolkiewicz returned home, where her family
helped her warm up with soup and
pancakes, her niece said.
"I was sure she was dead," Czyz told
television station TVP. "I'm stunned, I don't
understand what happened. Her heart had
stopped beating, she was no longer
breathing."
Bogumila Kolkiewicz said her aunt reported
feeling "normal, fine" following her ordeal.
She said the older woman has no
comprehension of what took place.
