    is it valid? ugh I heard theres this one woman in england I think* that frequently "dies,.."
    she has been said to have "woken" up in several morgues ..Crazy and that would CRUSH my soul all over again if it is true and it was my child..:(

    i think its really strange, but kinda sad. must have been aweful for the parents to go through! my gawd! i couldnt imagine, total emotional roller coaster. how long could he have been in that plastic bag for? the facts are a little screwy and the story pretty vague, but either way...eeeeek!

    apparently it is true..i read a follow up, and the father filed a medical malpractice complaint, and the police are currently investigating..i as well would be crushed to have lost the same child twice..i am totally going to follow this story, but can you imagine..and this was only a few hours after death..not days like we do here..i read the kids was only 2..a baby..even more sad

    I would guess he wasn't really dead in the first place.

    I've heard of people's bodies moving a little after death (muscle spasms and such), but never speaking. How could he talk if he were no longer alive? I suppose they'll have to keep an eye on the situation for a couple of days. This is very sad.

    likewise..and thats what i was saying, but if you think about it on the other hand, why would he just lay back down..wouldnt a 2 year old be kinda freaked out, and try to get out of a box ?? the whole thing is just baffling, but like i said, im going to be following this story closely..i was actually thinking about it more, and i told my hubby wouldnt it be sad if he was just in a heavy coma..no breathing, but his body kept him alive anyways, and he woke up after he was burried..how scary would that be for this poor kid

    That just strikes me as strange that it was at the actual funeral. Do they not "prepare" the body for burial? Not to be grotesque, but generally they do things that a live person would not survive like draining the blood and replacing it with embalming fluid. Such a strange tale, and so very sad to lose a child.

    I had seen the documentary on the other lady mentioned. She did make it to the morgue several times. She has some type of metabolical disorder that slows her vitals to the point of being almost undetectable. Scary stuff!
