A 90-year-old woman, whose name remains undisclosed, was found to be alive despite just being declared dead at a Spanish hospital.<\/p>\n
The elderly woman, who had been admitted to the Hospital San Juan de Dios in Zaragoza, Spain, was initially pronounced dead due to natural causes.<\/p>\n
Her body was then transported to the Tanatorio de Torrero funeral home for funeral preparations.<\/p>\n
However, a worker at the funeral home noticed the woman was breathing, leading to her swift return to the hospital.<\/p>\n
There, she briefly showed signs of life before passing away again on September 19, leaving her family in disbelief.<\/p>\n
